While we'll start to see a little break from the heat and humidity the next couple of days, it could be coming back in full force next week! A pretty significant trough will begin to dig out west forcing a ridge to build across two thirds of the nation. This will all begin Saturday night and last pretty much into most of next week. There will be a couple things we'll be watching as we go into the weekend that may keep temperatures from getting too out of control. First would be the potential for cloud cover from any storms that may fire up, especially if the jetstream sits more overhead than further up to the north. While it would keep temperatures down, the humidity would still be up. Just think about, a lot of areas here have had significant amounts of rain. Any type of heating would cause that moisture to evaporate into the atmosphere creating a very sticky situation. Second, if the jetstream doesn't move as far north as some of the weather models are predicting and does sit more overhead the bulk of the heat would then be shifted further to the south. Either way this is the pattern we've been seeing the past couple of days so I'm going to take it and run. Enjoy the comfortable weather while we've got it.
