Sunday, we’ll begin so see some dry air filter in from the north and what that means for us is, rain chances will be lower. It won’t completely erase our rain chances, but many areas are expected to not see rain through the day. I’m calling for a 40% coverage on Sunday with highs in the lower 90s.
Beginning next week, the unsettled pattern slowly begins to end, but it comes with a price. A very strong ridge of high pressure is expected to shift to the east closer to Florida. Our temperatures will respond, meaning daytime readings will be above average all week. As we get closer to the end of the week and heading into the next weekend, highs are expected to stay in the upper 90s with heat index values staying in the triple digits.
TROPICS:
We’re still watching two active storms this morning. Tropical Storm Bret continues to move to the west over the Caribbean Sea. It’ll continue to weaken today due to strong wind shear. Tropical Storm Cindy is expected to strengthen a bit more as it moves to the west-northwest. Both are not a threat to the U.S.
