Good Thursday evening! I hope your week is going fantastic. Mine has been pretty good. The weather hasn’t been bad, just warm and a little humid. But the heat is coming back after most of July has been nice with highs in the 80s. However, here come the 90s. In fact, first off look at the next 10 days.
Also the humidity is returning, so that means heat indices back near or above 100 degrees. First of the smoke.
If you have noticed the haze in the evenings with the reddish sunsets, that is due to the big wide fires out in the western 1/3rd of the country. The smoke pushes east with the upper level winds and here it is. It will actually clear up a bit in the next couple of days at least around here. 90s or at least 90 should return on Friday. We will have partly sunny skies and again a rand isolated shower or two.
Heat indices will be around 95ish Friday but near 100 if not above by Saturday.
So what is causing all of this? We are watching a heat dome or big ridge of high pressure getting strong out west and actually pushing closer to us over the weekend.
So in return, we get hot, humid and not much rain. We will have chances the next few days for random pop up PM showers but that is it! Boring weather! Long range forecast is below.
