Heat Builds this Weekend
Written by John DiPasquale:
Today will be comfortably warm, but after today the humidity levels will begin to creep up & so too will the temperatures. So enjoy the comfort today, because it certainly will become less comfy over the weekend, especially come Sunday.
High pressure overhead today will provide almost a cloudless sky, but during the weekend the area of high pressure will drift to the east which will lead to a west southwest hotter & more humid flow. After the low to mid 80s today, we will hit the mid to upper 80s tomorrow & then around 90 on Sunday with higher humidity levels building in all the while.
Rain chances over the weekend will be very low both days, with a 10% chance for a late day shower/storm tomorrow & a 20 to 30% chance of an isolated PM storm or two. So if you have outdoor beach &/or pool plans don't worry about those slight chances of a storm, because most of us will not see anything.
Come Monday there will be a little bit better of a chance of experiencing a few scattered showers & storms with a backdoor cold front. Otherwise, the chances of receiving any significant rains are basically zero through much, if not all, of next week.
After a bit of a cool down possibly later Monday into Tuesday there are many signs that the core of the heat across the central part of the country will make a serious run at the northeast for late next week & weekend. Stay tuned to News 8 for the latest details in the coming days.
Have a great weekend & stay cool everyone!
Thanks John. You do a great job updating this site. You all do. That is not good news about the rain, but I am enjoying this sun. Eventually the tide will turn and it will be rainy again. Droughts or dry spells do not last long around here.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful--keep it coming.
ReplyDeleteWe are owed a lot of this after that 6 months of misery.
The airport only picked up.13 with that batch this AM. Not nealry enough.
ReplyDeleteYes Weatherdan. We could definitely use a lot more than 0.13, but I guess it's better than nothing. It's quiet & sunny upwind of us right now, but further upwind there are a few showers racing southeast bound. I would expect with the backdoor cold front in the vicinity & some sun heating up the atmosphere, we should pop a few more showers & storms later this afternoon & evening. Any storm that does pop later today could pack a punch. We'll see. Stay tuned & stay cool this week WNY!
