August 18-19

It certainly has been nice to see NOTHING falling from the skies the last couple of days.  I hope you have noticed the drop in humidity.  It hasn't gone to no humidity, but dew points are down 12-16 degrees from where they have been.   You shouldn't walk outside and immediately begin to sweat.  Allergens are going to be higher this week, but wild fire smoke has taken a hike from our skies.  We have rain and thunderstorm chances for northern zones tonight, and statewide tomorrow.  A gusty storm is possible and downpours are likely for some, but not everyone sees something!  SOME STAY TOTALLY DRY!  Severe weather really isn't expected but some statement cells are possible.  After a nice Thursday and daylight hours Friday, we will have scattered showers Friday night (north) and Saturday (statewide).  We have detached ourselves from the periphery of the hot dome, so storm after storm...non-stop downpours won't happen.  I know NONE of us really are in need of rainfall, but multiple of inches of rain bringing back flooding isn't on the table.  Watch out for FOG (at least pockets) over the next three mornings.  Next week is looking pretty spectacular!  If you need to take a vacation or mental health day, there are many winners to choose from in this forecast!   We start to heat back up at the end of the period, and this heat with increased humidity should take us into Labor Day weekend.
