DISCUSSION
PROLONGED HEAT AND DRY WEATHER WILL BE WITH US THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S WITH HEAT INDEX
VALUES BETWEEN 100-107 DEGREES THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. WE DO EXPECT WINDS
TO INCREASE SOME EACH AFTERNOON WITH DRY AIR MIXING, THIS WILL LOWER
DEW POINTS DOWN SOME. MIN RH VALUES WILL RANGE MOSTLY BETWEEN 35-45 PERCENT
WITH SOME BEING AS HIGH AS 50 AND SOME LOWER THAN 35 PERCENT. WITH THE
MIXING, THERE COULD BE AREAS THAT SEE A FEW WIND GUSTS OF 15 TO 20 MPH BUT
NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD.
OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD COME AS EARLY AS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING BUT LOOKING MORE LIKELY TOWARDS THE WEEKEND. EVEN
THEN THE CHANCES ARE STILL AROUND 30-40 PERCENT.
