TUESDAY (8/2) MORNING WEATHER BRIEFING
GOOD MORNING!
Well today is going to be a very warm and sunny one...but with lower afternoon humidity. Fog burned off my mid-morning and now we have lots of sunshine across the region:
Dewpoint temperatures will "mix out" to around 60-ish this afternoon....an improvement over the last couple of days. Notice the upward tick tomorrow and Thursday. This break will not last long.
Highs today: About 87; 6 degrees above average.
Wednesday will be another tranquil today but it'll be a pretty steamy afternoon with temperatures approaching 90 and elevated dewpoints.
The end of the week will bring more of the same in terms of heat and humidity. I suspect Friday is the hottest, most humid day with heat index values in the mid 90s. Meanwhile, a cold front will approach. This front is likely to spark some thunderstorms later Friday afternoon into Friday night. There is a chance for some strong storms, although the front will not be coming through during peak instability.
A GREAT weekend is on the way. Much less humid and lots of sunshine. Temperatures near the average of 81.
LONG RANGE
Not much remarkable being shown by the modeling in the longer range ie no heat waves or unusual cool weather.
