6/12 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Frontal Assistance” Wednesday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Friday and Saturday should be primarily dry and hotter than today, with much of the area in the mid and upper 90s. At this point, it appears that we will remain just short of Heat Advisory criteria on Friday and Saturday, but we`ll revisit that potential in later forecast packages. The ridge moving eastward to our north will produce easterly flow across the northern Gulf of Mexico from Sunday onward. Impulses moving through that flow will produce periods of showers and thunderstorms, but there is quite a bit of uncertainty, not only in the timing of individual impulses, but in whether that convection occurs over the Gulf or over land.
