Thunderstorms Continue (July 15-18)

Tuesday will be similar to Monday with strong-to-severe thunderstorms possible, especially in the afternoon-evening hours. I’ll have a much better handle on the specifics tomorrow morning model upon guidance review. Statewide highs should top out in the low-to-mid 80s and fall to the 60s overnight. Winds will be light out of the SW while not storming.

Wednesday might start with some lingering showers and thunderstorms but will eventually clear out for everyone. That nice cool air mass we talked about will move in and cap highs at 80. The best way I can describe it is cool and comfortable as lows bottom out in the 50s. Winds will be breezy and possibly gusty out of the NW.

Thursday and Friday should be more of the same. Highs around 80 max and lows dropping to around 60. I’d love to tell you that it will be crispy dry weather but since it’s a trough driven by an upper level low pressure system, it could get damp and overcast at times between beautiful sunny skies. Thursday is probably okay but Friday could feature some isolated showers and storms. At that point we should start moderating back to seasonal temperatures heading into the weekend. Enjoy the early taste of September in the meantime.
