The weather continues to be beautiful over the next 3 days. The sunny weather will continue with temps in the mid to upper 80s. The humidities will be very comfortable for August.
However, Tropical Storm Fay is expected to hit Florida sometime on Tuesday morning. It currently has 45 mph winds, but the NHC expects it to have 90mph winds (making it a hurricane) when it hits land Tuesday in Florida.
However, I must say that I slightly disagree with this map. The storm system over the south currently will most likely push the track of this storm further west than the NHC map shows. I would expect it to go more towards Tampa and possible the panhandle of Florida.
What does this mean for our weather? Wednesday, I think that Fay will be too close for the trough to our north, which was supposed to give us our midweek rain, to get to our area. So, the rain chance for Wednesday is very low, but clouds will thicken into the nighttime hours. Temps again will be in the mid to upper 80's, but a Fay approaches, humidities will increase slightly.
Thursday afternoon-Saturday morning will bring a chance of rain from T.S. Fay. The chance will be slight (30%) but we could get some welcome showers. During this period, temps will stay in the mid 80s. However, if the track of the NHC is correct, we will be hard pressed to get any rain out of this.
This means that instead of rain, temps would warm on the backside of the system beginning Friday, with temps reaching 90 by next weekend. Accuweather says no rain for us until the 28th...
This is a very complex forecast that I will update as more info becomes available...

The Jeffersonville Little League baseball team was expected to play last night, but the game was delayed to this morning. The Jeffersonville team lost to Maryland 3-2, though Maryland did not get 1 hit! They scored on a fielding error by Jeffersonville, and 2 wild pitches. Chandler Dale scored a run for Jeffersonville, and Austin Hines scored a solo HR.
The final out was recorded when Chandler Dale nearly score the tying run in the top of 6th (with 2 outs). The first baseman had to dive to touch 1st base before the runner got there. Otherwise, the game would have been tied.
Jeff/GRC will play tomorrow at 3:30pm against Louisiana on ABC HD, and Tuesday at 2pm against Washington on ESPN HD. They must win both of these games to advance.
