Heat & Humidity to stay

We topped out at 88° yesterday. That's the warmest we've been since September 28, 2012, a stretch of 229 days! You better get used to temperatures like this because they're here to stay for the next 7-10 days.

TODAY:
After many of us started in the mid to upper 60s (the upper 40s/low 50s are a distant memory now, huh?), we'll warm nicely into the mid 80s. A few spots will see a bit more sunshine than others and will top out in the upper 80s. The biggest difference between today and yesterday is the clouds. They'll be more numerous today and will bring a stray shower or two to a lucky few. Many, however, will stay dry.

NEXT FEW DAYS:
Our weather will be in a holding pattern the next week or so. Temperatures will stay in the mid to upper 80s, maybe a 90° or two thrown in for good measure, under a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Our rain chances remain small as the storm track shifts north. The only hope we have of rain is from a stray shower bubbling up over the top of our house. This is a very summer-like pattern taking shape. The only thing missing is dew points in the mid to upper 60s; that will change next week when the bubble of moisture out west moseys over us.

SEA BREEZES:
A few showers are possible along the Gulf & Atlantic coasts the next couple of days. The ridge of high pressure is in prime position, in the Atlantic, for this to occur. That kind of leaves us in a squeeze play and is another reason many of us will stay dry. The Raincast to the right shows what I mean. It's showing showers tomorrow all around us, but not here. The upper-level flow isn't strong enough to allow either of the sea breezes to make it here, but one make eek their way into our southern counties. We shall see.
