A New Week... A New Chance...
The heat will continue to build over the next few days, thanks to our upper level ridge! It is the dominant feature on the latest analysis below:

This will keep our highs in the mid-to-upper 90s through mid-week!
Then things will start to change around here! A prtty good cold front is heading our way. It will bring us a chance of rain and even some relief from the heat! The latest GFS has the front moving through on Thursday. Here is a look at the GFS surface forecast for that timeframe:

Right now, the models are being pretty skimpy on rainfall AMOUNTS... we will have to wait and see how things look as we get closer.
And here's some more good news... it might not be that long between this rain chance and the next one! We are also seeing the potential for showers next Sunday into Monday:

This is a look at the 500mb flow... or 18,000 feet up. It shows the "waves" or pieces of energy that have a little "spin" with them. These waves bring along precipitation chances!
Gary is in Washington DC by now... getting ready for the AMS conference that will last all week. He will give his presentation on Thursday, and then hopefully he'll call us to let us know how it went! :) I will be in for him all week!
On another note, tonight is "Dessert Night" here at the station. Everyone brought in a dessert to share... and we're all going to be riding some pretty massive sugar rushes by the time the 10pm newscast rolls around! ;) So forgive us if we seem jittery!
I thought I would share the recipe for the dessert I brought... it's REALLY good (and quite easy to make)!
BROWNIE DESSERT PIZZA:
1 pkg. Brownie mix, and the ingredients to make them
1 pkg. Cream cheese (I used the 1/3 fat one to save on fat/calories)
1 can crushed Pineapple, drained
2 T. Sugar
1 c. sliced Strawberries
2 sliced Bananas
1/2 c. Pecans
Chocolate syrup
Cut parchment paper to fit on a pizza stone or dish. Make the brownie mix... and pour it onto the paper on the stone. Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until firm... do not overbake! Let cool completely.
To make the "pizza sauce"... mix the cream cheese with the sugar and crushed pineapple. Blend well, and spread over the brownie.
Top with the sliced strawberries and bananas. Then sprinkle the pecans... and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
Enjoy!
