5/16 – Rob Martin’s “Even Warmer” Monday Night Forecast

Severe weather stayed to our west this Monday afternoon, with just some spotty showers expected tonight. Beyond this evening, high-pressure starts to build into the area for Tuesday and Wednesday. Expect lows in the upper 60s later tonight, with highs nudging 90 again Tuesday through most of the week. It’ll feel more like summer this week as well, with heat index temperatures reaching the upper 90s by the time we reach mid-week.

Overall medium range models continue to be in fairly good agreement and continue to show a hot and rather humid forecast through the workweek with no rain until late Saturday and on Sunday. With an overall southerly flow and persistent humidity, elevated overnight temps will also develop this week, starting out in the lower 70s, and increasing to the mid 70s by Wednesday…definitely an air-conditioning type of week.

The high starts to break down Friday, leading to decent chances for storms to return both Saturday and Sunday.
