One Decent Day

It looks like our Friday has the most potential to be a calm and less humid day. Once the weekend arrives we'll see temps climb and humidity levels begin to get into that old uncomfortable state.

With the passing of a cold front we begin seeing temps drop and humidity levels clear out. That's all it takes! With the passing of our latest front we had to deal with a line of strong thunderstorms... this is actually pretty common. It's the classic set-up of good versus evil! You have to pick your side... is the cold air the villain or is it the hot stuff? Whiichever you picked doesn't really matter... what matters is the battle right along the line! That's where we get some of the most intense activity.

We all know what this is below.

A cold front works just like one of these squeegee's. As it passes over an area it will wipe some of the moisture up! Our front will do that for a day or so before we see more hot & humid air come back for the weekend.

Loop of the short range forecasts

I'll have more on Friday.
