Monday (8/15) Morning Weather Briefing
GOOD MORNING!
Some much-needed rain over the weekend and more in on the way today. Watching a complex of rain with thunder to our southwest this morning:
Thunderstorms are not all that likely here but it does look like we will get a period of steady rain during the midday and afternoon hours. Futurecast:
Our temperature rise will get short circuited by the rain so we should stay in the 70s today.
TUESDAY: STORMY?
A very weak cold front will limp across the Valley Tuesday and while it does not have much "punch" it will be a trigger for spotty thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has the region in a "Marginal" risk for severe weather. Meaning...a low chance but certainly not a "zero" chance.
REST OF WEEK
The rest of the work week will be quieter....just warm and humid. Low-end chances for showers and storms Wednesday-Friday. Juicy air mass but not much of a trigger.
PATTERN CHANGE
The pattern will finally feature a return of less humid air and more comfortable temperatures in about a week. After a Saturday that should be warm and dry, Sunday could be unsettled with a cold front swinging across:
Behind that front, the models have been consistent in showing a stretch of weather that, while not "cool" will certainly be more comfortable than the first 3 weeks of August.
