Well, hello there. It’s gonna be hot and humid. In fact, it’s already pretty steamy out there. We’re going to do this again tomorrow, but we will get some relief heading into later in the day. Friday as a cool front comes through. That’s gonna cool us down a bit as we head into the weekend, so make it a little bit more pleasant with less humidity. We’re dry across the area right now. In fact, we have some scattered storms, but those will be moving to the north of us. Notice our region not a lot in the way of rain or even cloud coverage. That is evidence that high pressure is dominating our forecast. So it’s actually gonna be pretty clear and nice for a couple of days, but again, pretty hot and humid as well. Tropical Storm Omar continues to move away from us as it weekends, which is good news. But now we’ve got Tropical Storm Nana, which is doing the opposite. It’s actually strengthening. Look at this. About 70 MPH is the top wind that it’s we’re expecting to reach before it makes landfall. Now, earlier this was supposed to come ah category one hurricane that has since been downgraded to 70 miles. But that’s still four miles shy of a Category one hurricane, so still pretty strong as it moves across Guatemala in that area as we go into the next couple of days here at home. Hot, humid. We’re looking at dry conditions, not a lot going on in terms of rainfall, so temperatures are definitely going to soar on Friday. A few pop up showers in the mountains and a few pop up showers in the upstate are likely as that cool front comes through. But you can see just not a ton of moisture with that. So not a lot of rain Saturday. We’re gonna reap the benefits of that cool front with cooler temperatures, low humidity, in fact, Sunday, just a 30% chance of a pop of shower or two, slightly better as we head into Labor Day and really Tuesday. That’s when we start to see some scattered showers moving across the area. Notice, though, we’re going to go from the nineties into the eighties and less humidity heading into Labor Day
