5/23 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Layered Atmosphere” Thursday Evening Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

An upper level ridge centered just west of the Bay of Campeche will continue to be expanded northeast across the Gulf States. This will maintain hot temps and little to no rainfall. A weak disturbance passing across the northern periphery of the ridge may allow a few isolated showers across the area from now through Saturday night but impacts will be minimal at best. Temperatures will creep up a couple more degrees Friday and Saturday the upper ridge nearby strengthens and temporarily expands farther northeast. A few locations could approach record highs this weekend. At the moment, it doesn`t appear that dewpoints will be high enough to support heat indices at heat advisory criteria, but most of the area will probably be in the 100-103 degree range.
