---CAMP LEGACY FORECAST---

For weather for the next 5 days scroll down...

Sunday-Tuesday look to be partly cloudy but with plentiful sunshine. Temperatures will be in the lower to middle 90's with heat indexes to near 100.

Wednesday will introduce a chance of thunderstorms, with temperatures around 90.

Heat strikes...

Tomorrow will be just as forecasted yesterday, in the middle 90's, dewpoints in the lower 70's, and with heat indexes from 100-105. Drink lots of water and Limit your outdoor activities!!! There will also be light winds, so air quality will be poor in urban areas and haze will overspread the region! An air quality alert is in effect for tomorrow...

There will be a slight chance of storms tomorrow night, but this will bring no relief to you during Tuesday afternoon!

Wednesday-Thursday is an interesting time frame because of the remnants of Hurricane Dolly moving into a very hot and humid environment. Temperatures will be near 90 on Wednesday, but with dewpoints in the lower to mid 70's (VERY OPPRESSIVE), heat indexes will be nearing 100 in some places. This will also be the fuel for numerous thunderstorms on Wednesday afternoon.

The SPC has put us in a 15% chance of severe weather for Wednesday...saying:
"A BELT OF 30-40 KT WESTERLY LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW WILL PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...POSSIBLY ISOLATED TORNADOES...IN STRONGER STORMS."

This may be a bit aggressive, but I will check with my sources and we will keep a close eye on Wednesday. I do think there is a potential for some severe weather on Wednesday afternoon and into the evening.

This will also be the potential for a soaking rain lasting into Thursday. Thursday highs will be in the rain cooled lower-mid 80's with high humidities. There will be off and on periods of heavy rain and storms Wed. & Thurs. with amounts expected from 1-2 inches in some places through Wednesday-Thursday.

I will post again tomorrow considering this very interesting weather situation on Wednesday-Thursday...

Meanwhile, Friday-Saturday look dry by heating up again. The temps will be in lower 90's and dewpoints in the mid 60's. That is not oppressive, but is still noticeable.
