Our great weather continues for just a couple more days...

Tuesday-Wednesday will be replays of today's weather, with highs in the upper 80s and comfortable humidities.

What happens next will be dependent on Tropical Storm Fay. Hurricane Warnings are in effect in parts of Florida, and winds are now at 60mph. This has to be one of the strangest tracks for a hurricane that I have seen once it comes inland. It seems to just aimlessly wander for 4 days, not effecting our weather.



This track is not very convincing at all to me, so our forecast will remain about the same. This storm is expected to hit Florida with 70mph winds tomorrow morning, and that is a sure thing on the track.

Now concerning our late week forecast...I think a 30% chance of rain for every day from Thursday-Saturday is fitting, as I still think that Fay will head our way. Highs over this period will be in the mid to upper 80s with increased humidities. Stay tuned for updates on this ever changing forecast.

Sunday-Monday's forecast are a blur. Depending on what Fay does, we could have a seemingly endless hot and dry spell continuing (if Fay stays to our south), or lingering showers and temps in the mid 80s. I would have to say the latter, but this storm is highly unpredictable.

Jeffersonville's little league team suffered a crushing loss yesterday to Louisiana, 9-0. However, if they can regroup and win tomorrow's game vs. Washington at 2pm on ESPN, and if Maryland loses in a high scoring game, it is possible that Jeffersonville could still move on to the semifinals...

The Olympics continue...
