08/22 Ryan’s “Still Pleasant” Thursday Morning Forecast

Enjoy more below average-to-average temperatures and lower humidity for another day or so.

The last couple of days have been cooling slightly and drying out, and while those pleasant conditions will continue another few days they’re starting to see changes. This morning was nice once again though, with a drier, cooler-than-average low near 72 and dewpoints in the mid-to-upper 60s. Those have been the real stars of the show over the last few days, and they’ll stick around for at least one more day before we’ll see them increase noticeably. Even then though, it won’t really be until next week we’ll feel “muggy” again, which is also when temperatures begin to inch upwards again.

We’re also seeing changes soon in regard to our quiet weather pattern. The dry air and generally higher pressure in the upper levels have kept skies clear and calm, but we’ll begin to see more and more cloud cover again as early as today. Still not expecting much more than “mostly sunny” skies, but I expect we’ll see slightly more and more until we average closer to a 50/50 (cloud to sun ratio) mix by Saturday. That’s when we’ll our familiar afternoon shower pattern as well, cooling the area another degree or so, leading to our coolest high of the next 7 days…a high near 89 for Sunday before it starts climbing agian.
