Here’s today’s Bottom Line
Today is going to be a very fine day across the area with bright sunshine, scattered clouds, and highs in the lower to middle 70s. You really can’t beat that for mid-November, so get out and enjoy it.
Clouds will start to increase tonight ahead of a weak frontal boundary that will slowly approach. This boundary doesn’t actually move through until Friday night … and it may trigger a few spotty light rain showers Friday night. Whatever we do get won’t amount to much, and certainly won’t do anything to break the worsening drought. 99% of us will remain dry while one lucky house somewhere gets the ground a little wet. That’s about it.
It’ll be mostly cloudy / partly sunny on Friday with unseasonable warmth on southwest winds… highs should easily shoot into the lower 80s. We won’t drop much behind the boundary Friday night… unseasonably warm and rather humid conditions can be expected on Saturday.
A stronger, but dry, cold front moves through Saturday night into early Sunday. Temps on Sunday will run a solid 10 degrees cooler than on Saturday… but will still average out above seasonal normal values.
Dry weather with pleasant temps continue into Thanksgiving week. There’s a good chance that dry weather persists through Thanksgiving day. Longer-range modeling then suggests several fronts and a possible area of low pressure on the southern jet could bring a widespread / soaking rainfall to the area for the holiday weekend. No promises on drought-busting rains, and the modeling will definitely waver between now and then… but the signals are pointing toward rainy conditions for the weekend of the 29th/30th.
TROPICS: For the first time since 2015, we will go through the entire tropical season without a US land-falling hurricane.
The wind speed of 252 mph during hurricane Melissa was officially confirmed, and that is the highest wind gust ever measured in a hurricane.
No tropical weather threats for the rest of the season.
