Weekend rain/storm update
Recommended Videos
- Still looking like we’ll get some activity both Saturday and Sunday, with the best chances coming Saturday.
- An isolated shower or two can’t be ruled out Saturday morning, but the better chance for more scattered activity comes in the later afternoon and evening.
- We are under a marginal risk for severe weather (level 1 out of 5), with the biggest threats being gusty winds and small hail.
- Sunday there will be more dry time, but still a few showers around.
- We are again under a marginal risk for severe weather Sunday, but I think the severe threat is a good deal smaller.
So long 80s (for now)
- 80-degree highs are still in the forecast through the weekend, but next week, highs in the 70s and even a few 60s look to return.
- The “cool-down” won’t last long though -- long-range models are spitting out the hottest air of the year by the end of next week!
Normal high at 70 degrees
- Tomorrow (May 14), the normal high will be at 70 degrees.
- This number continues to go up through mid-July.
Lunar eclipse
- Sunday Night (May 15) into Monday morning is when this will happen.
- Times to note:
- Partial Eclipse begins at 10:27pm
- Total Eclipse begins at 11:29pm
- Maximum Eclipse at 12:11am
- Total Eclipse ends at 12:53am
- Partial Eclipse ends at 1:55am
- A lunar eclipse is an event in which the earths shadow is cast upon the moons surface. With light bending around the earth/through the earth’s atmosphere, the moon appears red, giving it the nickname of a “Blood Moon.”
- Weather-wise, it doesn’t look good for us, as it looks like showers will be moving through at that time.
