8/16 – Jeff Vorick’s “Clearing/Pleasant” Wednesday Evening Forecast

Clouds will clear out this evening and it will remain relatively mild. Hot temperatures early will cool off to manageable levels for any plans around sunset. Humidity will continue to be tame for about the next 24 hours. Expect sunny skies and a mild start to your Thursday.

Thursday will be a tad hotter but the humidity won’t be terrible until late-afternoon with a sea breeze building in. Then, it is here to stay. Friday and especially into this weekend will feature the oppressive humidity returning. Heat indices will return to uncomfortable, if not dangerous levels.

Rain chances will be stray at best by Saturday. However, a tropical disturbance moving into the Gulf of Mexico early next week could provide for elevated rain chances as early as Sunday. It has a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression or named storm next week. Monday and Tuesday would be the day the feature passes through our region.
