Synopsis:
The heatwave will most likely break today, thats if the temperature doesn’t hit 90º, it’ll be close. The computer models have a flow coming off the colder Atlantic. This would result in readings in the 80s, but the high humidity will stick around. The combination of the very warm temperatures and high humidity will result in a heat index of 95º-100º. A heat advisory has been posted for today for much of the area away from the coast. Mother Nature may provide her own fireworks later this afternoon and evening. Spotty storms are possible. It will NOT be a washout and most areas will remain dry. Skies will be mostly cloudy for the holiday.
Thursday will be back up near 90º as the wind will be more off the land.
A significant cool front will work into the region Friday afternoon and night with showers and thunderstorms. Relief will finally arrive by Saturday. The weekend looks fantastic with abundant sunshine, cooler temperatures and very low humidity. It’s about time!
Stay tuned.
