Expectations of the next 3 days...

The next 3 days are expected to have temps around or just above 90 over must of the area. Humidities will gradually increase to uncomfortable levels ahead of the next system. However, though it will stay sunny, the haze will cause unsafe air quality for sensitive groups for the next few days.

Saturday will begin our next chance of rain, but will it be from Fay? Here's the track of Fay's remnants...



Saturday-Monday's rain/storm chances will be from the cold front from the west that will stall over our area. 30% chances are in order for these 3 days. Temps will remain in the mid to upper 80s with the enhanced humidity.

Tuesday-Wednesdsay, we may have to worry about Fay, or Fay could stall the front over our area for even longer. I think a 30% rain/storm chance for these days as well, but this could all change depending on the movement of Fay.

In case you are still wondering (like most of us are), Fay is forecasted to drift off the Florida coast and then hit land again with winds of 60mph (NHC). There is still a slight chance that Fay could go into the Gulf of Mexico later on this weekend...

I will post a link to an incredible video of a man being carried by a huge gust of wind during Fay...while flying a kite!!! Look for the link posted above this post...
