Sunday Edition

Everyone rejoice!  I'm coming to you with a special Sunday posting.  I don't know how many people will actually read it, because my track record for updating the blog on weekends is not exactly stellar.  But we may have some interesting weather happening today so maybe someone will be curious and check to see what's going on.

What's going on is heat and humidity are still dominating the scene.  A large upper-level low is moving out of the Great Lakes region and will be the culprit for unsettled weather over the next few days.  Today looks to be an especially good chance for heavy rain. There is clearly a great deal of moisture in the air and we have a relatively unstable atmosphere.  The heaviest rains may be to our north, in the Catskills, but it's very likely we could see downpours all the way south through the city and into southern NJ.  Severe storms may be likely but it looks like the biggest concern will be torrential rain within any individual storm cells.  Any developing storms will probably move through quickly, so it will not be a all-day rain event.

Tomorrow looks to be a similar scenario, although with a lower chance of heavy rain, however, tomorrow night a cold front will move through the area and that will hopefully give us a bit of a reprieve from the heat and humidity.

Today:  Showers and t-storms throughout the day, most likely in the afternoon.  High 85.  Winds S @ 9-13 mph.
Tonight:  Showers and t-storms.  Low 73.  Winds SW @ 8-10 mph.
Tomorrow:  Cloudy with some sun.  Afternoon showers/t-storms.  High 84.

Yesterday I went to Target and it was such nice weather out when I left. Of course walking home with all of my bags I got stuck in a torrential downpour. I thought I was going to beat my Target rain curse, but alas, no.

I wish I was in Madison instead...
