.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will build over the area this weekend and remain in place
into early next week. The main impact from this will be hotter and
drier weather conditions. Highs will peak in the low 90s and heat index
readings will climb into the low 100s each day through the middle of
next week. Winds will remain light at 10 mph or less and will
generally be from the south or southeast through the middle of next week.
The risk of thunderstorms will be lower than average on Monday and Tuesday
due to the high being over the area. Thunderstorm activity will be most
likely in the early morning hours, generally between 3 am and 10 am. In
the afternoon and evening hours, the seabreeze is expected to push any
thunderstorm threats further inland. Overall, there is a moderate degree
of confidence that a 4 to 8 hour window of less than a 20 percent chance
of thunderstorm and lightning activity will exist between Noon and Midnight
on both Monday and Tuesday.
