5/20 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Dry Period” Monday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Like the near-term, there is not really not much to talk about in the extended portion of the forecast. High pressure will maintain hot and rain-free conditions. Temperatures will creep up a few degrees from today which may approach records in some locations. At the moment, it doesn`t appear that dewpoints will be high enough to support heat indices anywhere near heat advisory, but should at least exceed 100 late this week. The ridge will continue to be suppressed southward as another trough tracks across the mid Mississippi River Valley this weekend. That`ll eventually allow for some afternoon convection but currently doesn`t look like that`ll happen until sometime next week.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.
