The combination of a potent cold front this past weekend and a strong high pressure system have brought cooler and tranquil conditions to the region. In fact, high temperatures from the past 3 days are 5-15° cooler than our high temperatures during the Sunday-Tuesday time frame last week. Going from hot & humid, to just right. If you ask me, I will take the weather we have been having this week over 90° + with heat index values above 100°. And if you haven't had an opportunity to enjoy the weather this week, you will have another opportunity today!
The forecast for today features another beautiful day for us in the Stateline. High pressure at
the surface anchored over Northern Missouri/Southern Iowa will provide another day of comfortably
warm temperatures, low humidity, and plenty of sinking air. In other words, more sunshine. You can see on this satellite and radar image how elongated this high pressure system is. It is keeping conditions quiet from Southern Canada down into Dixie Alley. High today will once again climb into the low 80s which is about seasonable this late in July.
And just like the past few days, we keep an isolated chance for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm. Any showers that do develop won't only be brief, but won't produce significant rainfall. Lows overnight will have yet another opportunity to "bottom out" (fall rapidly) into the low 60s. I highly recommend to open those windows before going to bed and continue to give the A/C a break. Winds, despite being fairly calm overnight, could aid in the formation of patchy fog as you head out the door tomorrow morning. Enjoy the weather!
