7/17 – Jeff Vorick’s “Clearing” Monday Evening Forecast

Spotty to isolated rain chances will be around this evening. Coverage will be around 20% or under partly cloudy skies. Skies will clear out overnight and winds will be light out of the northwest. This will help provide some relief by keeping humidity somewhat tame. It will be warm out the door tomorrow morning, but mild compared to what’s coming.

A Heat Advisory will be in effect from 12 Noon until 7 PM Tuesday for the potential of heat indices between 105 and 110 degrees. Cloud coverage will be limited for the next several days as strong high pressure transitions through the region. Temperatures will soar into the mid-to-upper 90s beginning tomorrow.

High pressure will move to its east this week. Wednesday and Thursday will feature more southerly winds which in turn will increase humidity. The worst heat will come Wednesday and Thursday. The pattern will gradually break down into this weekend. Rain chances return as early as Friday, and in more earnest this weekend.
