Thursday Morning Update

Good Thursday Morning! From Your Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly….

Temperatures stayed just at normal yesterday reaching into the mid 80’s. It was beautiful with Sunny skies but if you were outside at all you probably realized the strength of the wind with gusts getting up to over 30 mph.

This morning a front is pushing through popping up a few scattered showers though mainly out of our area. We are still very dry with most of the moisture staying off to the west. As this pushes through more dry air will move in behind it and temperatures will increase into the 90’s. We will still have strong winds through the day with winds at 20-30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph. Relative humidity will decrease staying between 10-20% with the highest only up to 30% in the western counties. Wind advisories are in effect until this evening at 7 pm and because of that and the dry air they have elevated the fire danger to a fire watch. Make sure to take extra precaution if you will be outdoors.

Tomorrow will be sunny with temps even warmer reaching the mid 90’s and lows near 70 degrees. We will still see strong Southwest winds between 15-25 mph. Friday night there will be another chance for a shower right before our next cold front pushes through. Early Saturday the front should drive through bring with it a chance for a shower and cooler temperatures. Winds will change from the Southwest winds which has been bringing the hot dry temperatures, to the North/Northwest and eventually becoming Northeast and decreasing to around 10 mph. Behind the front we will see sunny skies with enjoyable temperatures sticking into the lower 80’s for highs and low’s into the high 50’s.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
