Last week was a tale of two weeks. The first half of the week was beautiful: comfortable temperatures combined with plenty of sunshine and low humidity. Then the heat turned up with a bad attitude as 90+ degree weather dominated the end of the week.

As I think about the upcoming week, I remember something my dad always used to tell me growing up: “you can’t have everything in life.” That saying couldn’t resonate more this week. While we are going to trade in the intense heat for much nicer temperatures we are also going get wet. This week will feature two strong fronts that bring thunderstorms; the first one is Thursday into Friday and then again Monday into Tuesday. No day will be a “washout” but most days this week will have showers here and there. Not everyone will get them, but they will be around.

 

Wednesday will be a decent day, but there is a chance for a shower in the afternoon.

Thursday will start nice, but turn ugly. Watch for a potentially severe line of storms to come through in the evening. Very humid too!

Friday tries to clear things out, but still the chance for a lingering shower and T-storm. Overall, it doesn’t look awful.

Saturday and Sunday are essentially the same weather-wise. Both days will be warm but not hot, have breaks of sunshine between clouds and hit-or-miss showers and thunderstorms floating around.

On Monday we do the whole Thursday weather charade again. The day starts out nice and then BAM! A line of heavy (and possibly severe!) T-storms comes through in the evening.

Tuesday, like Friday, is the “clear-it-out” day so it may start off cloudy but sunshine should take hold in the afternoon and evening.

The weather winner of the week is Saturday; the weather loser is Thursday.
