Synopsis:
High pressure off the coast will provide the area with one more beauty for August -the humidity will be low and temperatures will be tolerable. By tomorrow the high will move off the coast. This will set up a warmer and more humid flow. The push of humid air along with a weak disturbance in the upper atmosphere will cause scattered showers and thunderstorms to occur on Wednesday. The threat will be with us all day. As the region gets deep into a Southwest flow Thursday through Saturday the threat of afternoon storms will be in the spotty category. Much the time will be dry. Besides the PM storm threat, the 3 H’s will be the top story. Temperatures will top 90º late week into the weekend with high levels of humidity. The heat index will approach 100º in many areas. Yes, August’s mean side will be with us for some time.
