Weather

Hello, all! Here’s a quick forecast for the next few days…warm and muggy with rain and storms! But since it won’t do any of those things the whole time (except the warm part), here are some details in today’s forecast for the Tri-Cities:

• Tonight-Cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Low 67.
• Tuesday-Mostly cloudy, off-and-on showers and storms will be around. High 84. Similar tomorrow night, low 66.
• Wednesday-Cloudy but warmer, with scattered showers and storms. High 88.
• Thursday-Partly to mostly sunny, a few afternoon showers and storms. Highs near 90.
• Friday-Partly to mostly sunny, some scattered afternoon showers and storms. Highs near 90.

There’s a weak front over the Tri-Cities right now, and that’s causing some rain and storms to be arriving late this afternoon. We’ll see those moving in off-and-on not only through tonight, but pretty much through Wednesday.

By Thursday, that front basically washes out over top of us, as they normally do this time of year. That will mean warmer weather is likely for the last two days of the week. There will still be good chances of rain and thunderstorms, but by then that will mostly be limited to the afternoons.

As seen above, we go from nearly 90 today (because it took the clouds and rain a while to get here) to the mid-80s tomorrow. Back up to the upper 80s for Wednesday–again, depending on storms–before we have a good chance at 90 degrees on Thursday and Friday. Overnight lows each day should be in the mid-to-upper 60s.

That’s a normal summer weather pattern…so get out and enjoy it, when there are not storms nearby!
