Storm Outlook Next Three days

Storm Prediction for the next three days from Storm Prediction Center

Precipitation Outlook for the Next 7 days

Precipitation could be higher locally due to showers and storms. A better risk of rain will be Sunday, but we will have to wait and see.

Long Range Outlook (Speculation)

Always speculation in the Long-Range. As of now, precipitation looks above normal in the 6 to 10 days, and Normal beyond that.

Trends are looking good for some cooler air in the longer-range, but that is way off. It is hot this time of year!

A wet week ahead with several chances of rain.

The heat STINKS! HATE IT! We will get a break after Wednesday, but this week looks wet! Maybe two to three inches of rain possible! We need the deficit erased in some areas so this will help. The humidity and heat will remain, but then a “backdoor” front will move through.. but how far has been a bit of a question. If it hangs in the area, we could see some flooding! We will have to watch. Severe does not look likely, but, with warm weather, a pulse severe storm always seems possible. By Thursday and Friday, that front will hopefully clear the area. If so, the next weekend will be so much cooler and dry… that is a possibility. UNFORTUNATELY, there is a possibility that the front does not and we remain wetter than forecast. So I would say the long-range is unsure. With that front pushing to the south, we will eventually clear out and stay cooler and drier than normal for a bit! YAY!
For now, get those drains cleared out if they have grass or anything blocking them, and expect some downpours this week with afternoon and evening storms.
