7/18 – Rob Knight’s “Heavy Rain Threat” Midday Forecast

The constant showers/t-storms coverage will begin to decline over the next few days…but that only means more sun, heat and humidity.

Today will bring another round of potentially HEAVY RAINFALL,

with Thursday being a transition day as temps will climb into the lower/mid 90s into early next week. This will make for some oppressive conditions Friday through Monday and possibly Tuesday.

Expect a heat advisory For the weekend!

By Tuesday, the upper trough along the east coast begins to get another shot of energy on its west side which will try to develop a broad surface low-pressure near the Fla panhandle. The upper trough maintains a surface trough in the area Monday and Tuesday but the dry air that has moved into the area by that time, it may preclude most showers/t-storms development. This new reinforcing front would bring dew-point temps in the low to mid 60s by mid to late next week. If this occurs, it is quite rare and will make hot bot but DRY CONDITIONS.
