Good Thursday to one and all. It’s another day with scattered showers and storms as temps slowly get back to normal levels for this time of year. As we get into the next week and change, the tropics look to flex on the overall setup.<\/p>\n

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will go back up this afternoon and evening, especially across the eastern half of the state. This will be surrounded by some sun and clouds with temps 85-90 in the west and middle 80s east.<\/p>\n

These normal temps are on coming after a super cool start to the month across much of the country. Look at the temperature departures so far…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Temps continue to inch up a bit into the coming weekend with the chance for a shower or storm to go up, but much of the time looks dry.<\/p>\n

The threat for showers and storms will increase into the first half of next week ahead of a cold front dropping in from the northwest, bringing an increase in showers and storms…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tropics are percolating and will eventually become a big player in the overall pattern for the second half of August. The National Hurricane Center continues to watch a few systems for the next week…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s likely to get very active during the second half of August and into early September.<\/p>\n

With fall just about upon us, it’s fun to look and see what the Almanacs are seeing for our region. the Farmers’ Almanac has us in the Fair and Chilly Start to Wet and White Finish…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Old Farmer’s Almanac isn’t nearly as descriptive as it puts us into the cool and dry category…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll talk more about fall and throw out my super early thoughts about winter in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Here are your tracking tools for the day\u2026<\/p>\n
