8/17 – Chris’s “Plenty of Sunshine” Thursday Afternoon Forecast
SUMMARY: A stationary front, accompanied by strong, dry air is keeping moisture to the south, reducing rain chances significantly in an unnamed area. Dew points will be lower and Friday temperatures will reach the upper 90s with manageable humidity, so a heat advisory may not be required. Weekend temperatures will continue in the mid to upper 90s with heat indexes surpassing 110, while heat advisories and warnings could be put in place. A stray shower or thunderstorm might alleviate the extreme heat on Sunday. As the new workweek begins, tropical downpours are potential due to a disturbance moving northwest through the Gulf of Mexico.
