HOT HOT HOT

Good evening! Thanks for checking up on the weather! HOT, HOT, HOT, what's new? Seriously! I love hot weather and everything, but it has been making it miserable to do anything outside that doesn't include swimming! Today made the 14th straight day of 90+ temps, and we may set an all time record of back-to-back 90 degree days before this heat wave ends.

The next few days will be getting hotter and hotter, but the humidity will not be as oppresive. Temps tomorrow-Wednesday will range from 92-96.

A cold front will try to move in Wednesday afternoon, so an isolated storm is possible. Most areas won't see a drop. This will knock down our temps slightly for the end of the week.

A similar cold front will move through late Friday, so another small chance of rain, with some relief likely by next weekend. We may see temps down in the upper 80s next weekend, with a noticeable drop in humidity.
                                
                       LONG RANGE PATTERN- RELIEF ON THE WAY?

August is expected to start like July ended, hot! But, it looks like a pattern flip "could" be on the way by the middle of August. A trough will likely set up over the eastern U.S. with the heat ridge shifting in the western U.S. This pattern will likely mean above-average rainfall too, which is something we REALLY need. Here are a couple maps showing the pattern flip:
