A cold front came through our area last night and high pressure will build into our area giving us a mostly sunny day after some morning cloudiness. Temperatures will be comfortably warm and the humidity will be low with dew points mainly in the low 50s. Winds will be a little brisk but not as strong as we had yesterday.
Fantastic weather for the Father’s Day weekend with plenty of sunshine both days with continued pleasantly warm temperatures and continued low humidity. Saturday will be a little breezy again but less wind is expected for Father’s Day.
A rather strong low pressure system will effect our area on Monday with some heavy rain likely and possibly some thunderstorms. Right now rainfall amounts will average 1-2 inches which will help with our drought situation.
Mainly dry weather the rest of next week with near normal temperatures. At this time the only chance of showers would be on Thursday as a weak frontal system moves into our area.
