4Warn Weather – Good Monday and happy Labor Day!
With near-record heat with more sunshine continuing today, we should make it into the 90s.
High pressure is going to control the forecast over the next few days, which will bring us summer-like heat with some humidity through the middle of the week. We’ve only had a few 90-degree days this summer, and we’re adding more days to that in this first full week of September.
Expect plenty of sunshine with mostly sunny skies on Monday. Highs will be around 92 degrees, which was the record high temperature set for this day in 2018.
Skies will be mostly clear Monday night.
Some rain chances Tuesday
With the dew points creeping up a little bit as well, expect heat index values to head into the low and mid-90s through Tuesday, too. Tuesday will also be sunny with mostly clear skies at night.
However, with just enough moisture working into the region, there is a chance of a few showers or thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening. I do not expect this to be widespread, though.
More showers Wednesday, Thursday
We’ll have a little more cloud cover by Wednesday, with skies becoming partly cloudy. More clouds will move in Wednesday night.
Expect rain to move in Wednesday afternoon and evening, and into Thursday. There will be chances for showers and thunderstorms, some of which many be on the stronger side. Western parts of our region will be at a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather.
Clouds will be abundant Thursday with more shower and thunderstorm chances. Highs will head into the upper 80s but drop into the upper 70s.
Some moisture will stick around on Friday. Skies will be cloudy and highs will be in the lower 70s.
Drier weekend
Conditions will be drier this weekend. Expect plenty of sunshine.
Highs will be in the lower 70s on Saturday, and the mid-70s on Sunday.
