Good Tuesday, everyone. I’ve been hinting at a fast and furious flip to summer for early May, and here it is. Thermometers this week will reach normal levels for July. That’s impressive considering we were just talking about frost a few days ago. With the summertime temps comes an increase in humidity. Is it too early to be talking about muggy weather?

Highs today will reach the low 80s for most of the state. A few middle 80s will be possible across the west. Those middle 80s will be likely for much of the state Wednesday and Thursday. Upper 80s will be possible during this time.

This is when you will really begin to notice that increase in humidity levels and that could pawn isolated showers and storms.

The overall setup has been well telegraphed for a while, now. A super warm pattern across the eastern half of the country with cool in the west and storms in between. There continues to be the chance of something tropical forming off the southeastern seaboard. The future radar from the NAM is impressed with that feature…

Whatever kind of system we have down there should meander around that region through the upcoming weekend. That keeps our region in a very warm and humid pattern…Euro

That’s a look that could give us a 90 degree temperature reading before all is said and done. The chance for a shower or storm will be with us through the weekend. Those chances really increase early next week with a strong cold front moving in…

Make it a great day and take care.
