Synopsis:
The heatwave will continue and peak today as a Bermuda high dominates our area. It will be an oppressive day with high humidity. The heat index, the way it actually feels with the temperature and humidity combined will reach between 98º-110º.
Please listen to your body. If you feel weak or disorientated take a break. Stay in a cool environment, if possible and drink plenty of water.
A cool front will approach on Saturday. This will bring some relief from the oppressive conditions. At this time a few showers or storms are possible. It will not be a washout.
By Sunday, true relief will arrive with readings just below the average high of the mid 80s and much lower humidity as Canadian high pressure get our applause. Sunday will by far be the better half of the weekend. Abundant sunshine is expected.
Stellar August conditions will continue into the beginning of next week.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
Stay tuned.
