Thursday, July 29: An Evening Shower

Yesterday, a strong system brought very large, strong winds - sometimes 75 mph or greater - and possibly a few tornadoes (not yet confirmed by survey teams). A weaker version of this system will be moving through our area today. 

Assuming clouds are clear enough to allow for plenty of warming today, we could be in for a turbulent storm with damaging winds of 60 mph and hail. However, this isn't 100% certain, as the kind of system that will be moving through is one that is somewhat unpredictable. 

The high-end scenario would be 60 mph winds, medium sized hail up to an inch in diameter, and heavy rainfall. A tornado is also possible. 

The general forecast you should plan your day around is a later afternoon - evening shower or two is expected, with some gusty winds and heavy rain quite possible. Temperatures will peak near 88 Thursday. 

Although Friday won't be much cooler in the actual temperature, humidity will be far lower, with humidity levels running in the 50-55% range most of the day. Highs will be near 86, with real feels close to the actual temperature, although it will be sunny. 

Shabbos will be a few degrees cooler, with highs around 84. Sunday will be about the same, and temperatures both nights will drop into the lower 60s - 7-10 degrees cooler than recent nights. 

Expect temperatures to stay in the 80s through the middle of next week, a refreshing change from recent heat.
