Technical Forecast Discussion
Short-term Forecast (Sunday 08/25/2024 through Tuesday 08/27/2024):
Surface high pressure is positioned over our region providing clear skies. With the lack of any shortwaves to provide surface level mixing, instability, and cloud coverage, a warming trend will continue with temperatures stretching into the upper 90s and potentially higher. Upper level ridging could potentially cause a small amount of convection providing the opportunity for some isolated showers and thunderstorms Tuesday evening. Westerly flow will begin Tuesday evening into the week providing increasing moisture and humidity.
Long-term Forecast (Wednesday 08/28/2024 through Saturday 08/31/2024):
The chance for some isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue into Wednesday. Any notable precipitation, however, is not anticipated. As westerly flow continues into the region, humidity levels will increase. Heat advisories may potentially be issued by the National Weather Service as the warming trend continues and moisture builds providing hot and humid conditions. A weak cold front will sweep through into the weekend providing some moisture and instability to build the chance of some much needed precipitation.
