Tuesday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another beautiful day across the region. Partly cloudy skies this morning turned to mostly sunny this afternoon. Winds were breezy from the south as highs reached the low to mid 70s.

Partly cloudy skies and dry conditions look to be with us Wednesday through Friday with highs in the low to mid 70s.

Moisture is expected to continue building back into the region throughout the week. A cold front should move through the area Saturday night. It looks like enough moisture will be in place for us to have a chance for showers and thunderstorms that night and into Sunday. That chance is only 20% for now, but could increase as we get closer to the end of the week. One of the computer models is indicating a cutoff low developing near our area on Sunday and hanging around through Monday. I decided to be optimistic and continue our 20% chance for rain through the first day of next week. Keep your fingers crossed that rain chances get better because we need the precipitation. Our deficit continues to grow and is approaching half an inch already for the year. Highs for Saturday should be in the low to mid 70s. Sunday will be cooler with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
