Good Saturday everyone and we say a big welcome back to the heat and humidity. After a one day break… we are back into the thick of the muggies that will carry us into Monday before some big time changes head our way next week.

The weather today will be hot and it will be humid as temps hit the 90 degree mark in many areas. Lower 90s are a good bet for some under partly sunny skies.

Sunday looks a lot like today with low 90s for many as humidity levels come up even more. This will lead to a scattered afternoon or evening thunderstorm going up.

A cold front will move toward us by Monday and this should lead to more widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some of these could be strong and produce very heavy rains. With a ton of juice in the atmosphere… we will have to be on guard for some local high water issues once again.

Here is what the NAM looks like Monday afternoon…

That front will start a step down process that will lead to a heck of a cool air mass taking over across much of the eastern half of the country for the middle and end of next week. Take a look at the European Model for Thursday…

Tropical Depression #1 formed Friday int the Caribbean and may become Alex before heading toward the Yucatan Peninsula. This should then enter the southern  Gulf of Mexico and head toward Texas or Mexico early next week. Here is the latest from the National Hurricane Center…
