Relief Around the Corner!

After today, just one more HOT day in the mid-to-upper 90s before things start to cool off around here! Tomorrow we will still be on the southern side of our frontal boundary... and the southwest winds will pick up a bit during the afternoon. A nice breeze... but it means more heat & humidity are being ushered in. Here is the surface forecast for tomorrow:

In that warm, humid, unstable air ahead of the front... I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few isolated afternoon thunderstorms tomorrow... but most of us should stay dry.

Then the bigger chance of rain arrives on Tuesday, driven by a cold front. Here is the surface forecast for Tuesday:

It still looks like we have the potential for some heavier rains on Tuesday. The NAM is forecasting about a half inch... while the GFS is higher in it's amounts. BUT at this point, I would have to side with the .5" of the NAM.

Temperatures are also tricky on Tuesday... depending on the timing of the rain... we could be quite cool! Regardless... it is going to feel MUCH more comfortable outside as we go into the middle and second half of the week, with highs running a little below average in the lower-to-mid 80s.

Here is the surface forecast for Wednesday....

I was wondering if it was going to rain all day or just part of the day on Tuesday?

Danielle,

It is going to rain from 1 PM until 7 PM. Of course it is over now, so I am cheating.

I've listened to Channel 41 news and wx for a long time and the other stations don't compare in their weather reporting and forecasting. I wanted to ask if there is a way to animate the radar. I like to do that and I didn't see a way to do it. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Don,

Thank you very much! This is a great suggestion and it is something we must get done. I will get our team to work on animating Live Triple Action Doppler.
