Unsettled Weather Later This Week
First chance of a Tropical Storm may flirt with our area later this weekend
As Tropical Storm Harvey drops nearly 10 inches of rain over parts of Mexico, our area has our eyes on what will be known as Tropical Storm Irene which is building strength in the Eastern Caribbean and may have its sights on our region this weekend.
“There is a high chance of 80 percent that this system will become a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours," according to the National Hurricane Center.
The track of this storm will be monitored closely to determine which location along the United States coast may be at risk.

The week will begin with a mixture of clouds and sun. The temperature will be in the mid -80s. There may be an early shower but this should clear out of our area by approximately 6 a.m. The humidity levels will be relatively low so it should feel comfortable outside. The wind may gust up to near 25 mph throughout the day.
On Tuesday, a high pressure system will settle in over our region keeping all moisture and clouds blocked out early on. The sun will then give way to clouds later on in the day. Temperatures will be in the high-70s as the low humidity continues.

By mid-week, we will see mostly sunny skies throughout our area. Temperatures should reach the mid-80s with winds gusting to near 18 mph. Some clouds will roll into the area overnight.
On Thursday, there will be a mixture of clouds and sun. Temperatures will reach the mid-80s but when the higher humidity levels are factored in, it should feel as though it is 91 degrees outside. There is the chance of a late afternoon shower or thunderstorm.
Clouds will dominate the sky on Friday with temperatures in the mid-80s. The high humidity will continue, making it feel like 91 degrees outside. Once again, there is the chance of rain throughout a large portion of the day.
The weekend will begin with partly cloudy skies and some sun on Saturday. Temperatures should remain in the mid-80s with the chance of a late shower or thunderstorm. The Global Forecast System is currently showing a tropical storm to dump heavy rain over our area Sunday night into Monday. It should leave our area around midnight on Monday.
There is still plenty of time for the track of the tropical storm to shift direction so make sure you monitor this event as the week progresses.
