The Week Ahead

I've tweaked the color system so that it now looks like this:

Green: No hazards (sunny day)
Gold: Minimal impact hazards (stray shower/storm)
Orange: Moderate impact hazards (storms w/heavy rain, lightning, or minimal severe threat)
Red: High impact hazards (greater potential for severe storms)
Purple: Hazards potentially causing damage to property (imminent severe storms/tornadoes)
White: Life threatening hazards (great tornado threat/extremely high wind threat)

Hopefully I won't ever have to use white around here...

Here's the forecast for the week ahead...

Wednesday: Chance of a stray storm
Thursday-Friday: Hot and humid; highs in the 90's and dewpoints in the 60's (uncomfortable range). Reduce outdoor work if possible
Saturday: Risk of severe storms and continuous heavy rain
Sunday: Heavy rain possible in the morning
Monday-Tuesday: No hazards

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Temperatures will be near 90 on Wednesday, lower to mid 90's on Thursday and Friday, falling into the upper 80's for Saturday, and the lower 80's for Sunday-Tuesday.

Humidity will be high Wednesday-Sunday, with lower humidities for the first part of next week...

One more quick note is Saturday...



We are in the 30% chance of severe weather on Saturday from the SPC...

For now, I will keep Saturday as a "Code Orange" until the storm organizes and comes closer...
