Forecast: A couple of chances for rain

Issued July 16, 2018: Covering the period from July 18 to 25

The only glitch in last week’s forecast was the slightly cooler-than-expected air that moved in behind a cold front last Monday. Otherwise, the forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models predicted. To begin this forecast period, the area of high pressure that brought us some relief from the heat will have moved

This forecast period looks like it will be a repeat of last week’s weather. Last week began with an area of low pressure bringing clouds along with showers and thundershowers. This was then followed by a return to sunshine and warming temperatures that culminated in the really hot and humid weather we experienced last Saturday.

After a fairly active period that brought a mix of sun and clouds along with scattered showers and thundershowers, it looks like things will settle down a bit for this forecast period. We’ll begin this forecast period with one last area of low pressure moving across our region on Wednesday. Expect clouds and showers along

Once again, the weather models did a good job predicting the weather over the last week. We did see warm/hot temperatures move in late last week and into the first half of the weekend. A number of places also experienced thundershowers and storms late Friday and Saturday afternoon, but as forecast, there just weren’t the

We definitely experienced showers and thundershowers last Friday as predicted, but with warmer-than-expected temperatures, and with higher humidities, the thundershowers became thunderstorms, with some becoming fairly severe across a number of regions. For this forecast period we’ll see a building ridge of high pressure bring plenty of sunshine and warm/hot temperatures. Expect daytime highs to

Last week’s forecast was a little hit and miss. We didn’t quite see pure sunny skies on Thursday or Friday, but we did see a few showers move through on Friday. Saturday, for most regions, turned out to be a bit of a bust as a moist easterly flow developed that gave most regions clouds,

The early part of last week’s forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models predicted, but the second half kind of fell apart as a strong upper low took control of the weather over the weekend, bringing clouds, rain and cool temperatures. High pressure did build back in to begin the week, which

As I pointed out in last week’s forecast, some areas would see rain while other areas might miss out, and this is exactly what happened. While some regions have seen the drought conditions come to an end, other areas continue to struggle with dry conditions. For this forecast period, it looks like we may just

My weather forecasts seem to be starting off the same every week now. Last week’s forecast was nearly bang on, except for a little more rain over eastern regions last Friday. For this forecast period, it is going to feel more like mid-summer rather than late spring. While the hot weather will not help those

Last week again played out about as close to what was forecast as could be expected. The biggest issue with the forecast was the very cold overnight lows we saw late last week. Cold temperatures were predicted, but the extreme overnight lows were a result of very dry air along with very dry surface conditions
