9/18 – Rob Knight’s Final Week of Summer Forecast

High-pressure centered directly over the Gulf South will be the dominant weather feature driving the weather forecast through Wednesday. As a result, warm & humid will persist through the middle of the week. Expect to see slightly above normal temperatures as daytime highs climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s, overnight lows dipping into the lower to middle 70s. With weak wind flow and ample low level moisture in place, the prospect of fog forming over inland areas away from the coastal waters will be fairly high each night. Any fog should quickly mix out by mid- morning as drier air in the mid/upper levels begins to mix down to the surface. A sea-breeze cycle will be the driver of most activity each day, with shower and thunderstorm activity holding off until the mid to late afternoon hours when peak heating is achieved.

The latter work week going into the 1st weekend of Autumn will bring similar conditions with temperatures dropping into the mid 80s by Sunday…
