Night Rob’s “Feels Like 100” Tuesday Evening Forecast

We transition to a primarily southerly flow today as high pressure start building in off the gulf. This means more in the way of sinking air to counteract any rising air, which will squelch thunderstorm development. Enough lift might be available late Tuesday afternoon for a spotty heavier shower, but that’s about it.
What will continue is the humidity and above-normal temps, including elevated night temperatures. Wednesday, surface winds will be primarily southerly, which will enhance warm air transport and moisture in the area. As a result, highs this week are forecast to be in the low 90s with apparent temperatures in the mid-high 90s. Thursday and Friday, conditions will be rain-free based on the model consensus. Upper level high-pressure will be the main pattern over the area. Southerly surface winds will continue the warm and moist air into the region.

Looking at the models, an isolated shower could be possible in the coastal marine areas Friday night due to an influx of tropical moisture. But overall, a hot and dry couple of days at the end of the workweek with highs forecast in the low 90s. Saturday and Sunday, a slow-moving front is expected to move into the area and slow down, enhancing rainfall for the area. Scattered to numerous showers and storms will be expected Saturday and Sunday, especially during the daytime and evening hours. Lightning and gusty winds will be the main threats associated with this system. Locally heavy rainfall will be a concern as well, especially Sunday.
Increased cloud cover and proximity of the front over the weekend will knock these hot temperatures down a bit, and we could actually have some lows in the upper 60s again at that time.
