Saturday rain returns to the forecast. A few showers and storms will start to bubble up late morning and we will see the down pours lingering into the evening hours. Sunday a disturbance moves in from the west bringing most of the area rain and storms.
It doesn’t get more summer than this with highs each day climbing into the 90′s and the humidity creeping higher and higher. There is only one problem, it’s only the middle of May.
It seems as though we’re fighting over rain the past few days as some areas are struggling to catch a much needed shower while others are getting hailed on.
Some coastal storms may linger late. Sunday expect another hot day with a few spotty storms around. Temperatures will start out near 70 and should rise near the 90 degree mark into the afternoon.
Plenty of moisture will allow for some storms to develop again into the afternoon into the early evening hours with a bit of energy circulating around the low to our west. Higher cloud cover should help keep temperatures in the upper 80s.
Afternoon storms are possible each day into the weekend with plenty of moisture available and less subsidence. The clouds and rain should help check temperatures in the upper 80s, still above averages in most cases.
The peak of this heat wave will come over the next 24 hours before storm chances increase and the extra cloud cover starts to influence our high temperatures.
Sinking air will keep rain at a minimum and allow high temperatures to increase into the lower 90s for most areas. With plenty of humidity around feels like temperatures will be in the middle 90s and by Wednesday with record highs in the low 90s we could break one.
The old frontal boundary draped across the region gave a focus for one or two showers to develop, but overall it stayed dry. Moving into Sunday high pressure settles even more firmly across the area starting a dry streak expected to last into the middle of next week.
It’s hard to even call this early summer as we’re only a few days into May but the heat is set to build across the area over the next week making for a certain summer feel.
High temperatures Friday afternoon will rise into the upper 80s and we can expect 90s over the weekend. Record highs are in the low 90s so we could easily rise above that any day.
I wish this weather pattern was a joke but it’s not and the heat is on over the next several days as we could break record highs heading into the weekend.
Monday will bring a few clouds, but rain chances stay at a minimum as the disturbance that pushed by the region Sunday moves on. High temperatures remain very warm in the upper 80s near 90.
A cold front well to the north could prompt a few showers or storms around day break especially to the extreme northwest. There’s more likely to be a storm or two around Sunday afternoon.
The high pressure keeping our skies clear at the moment will slide east allowing for a more southeasterly wind off the Gulf of Mexico increasing moisture across the region. Temperatures stay very warm in the middle to upper 80s and will feel like 90 for much of the time.
The weekend will feel a bit less comfortable, but still nice as high pressure pushes east and southerly winds allow for more moisture to return. A spotty shower could form especially Sunday, but overall we will remain mostly dry.
