76 / 71 and 0.59 in the bucket between 3Am and 450AM. Mainly cloudy but already breaks in the clouds and could see some sun and a push into the 80s before the next round of storms this afternoon and evening. Tue looks cloudy with isolated showers / storms before drying out Wed (8/10). Ridge anchored out west and trough into the NE. The Western Atlantic ridge builds west in phases, foirst by the end of this week and into the weekend butting up against the trouh and keeping the boundary front nearby with storms chances. By 8/14 / 8/15 the ridge is further expanding albeit not as strong as previous forecasts and likely more like late July where core of the ridge keep the strongest heat south but warm to hot , humid and likely storms chances as we push over into the second half of the month. The way beyond - looks like the trough is in / out before ridging into the east.

77 / 61 and partly cloudy. Warm and less humid and perhaps less cloudy than Saturday. Mid / upper 80s. Mon (8/7) - Wed (8/9) warm , humid and very stormy. There doesnt seem to be enough breaks in any of the clouds to offer a few hot spots 90, but airmass is warm enough. Rain could add up 1 - 2 inches widespread with heavier amounts >3 inches. Beyond there the western Atlantic ridge is building west in phases, first bumping against the trough and establishing boundary by late week into the weekend Fri (8/11) - Sat (8/12), perhaos a vigorous piece of energy with storms / heavy rain.. By Sun (8/13) and into Mon (8/14) heights and humidity are risging but still storms chances. By early next week the W. Atl Ridge is pushing 594 DM into or just south of the area (similar to late July) and the next shot at some stronger heat. Overall - warm / humid with some heat in the way beyond with tropics setup to come alive.

77 / 67 and partly cloudy. Continue the Puppy days of summer the next two days with a gorgeous weekend enroute. Warm southerly flow Mon (8/7) - Wed (8/9) humid, warm with storms. When and where the sun is out it'll heat up quickly - this is like early Jul, so some chances at 90 in the sunnier / clearer spots and humid. Thu (8/10) - Sat (8/12) transition as trough lifts and the western Atlantic ridge builds west more storms chances by the end of the week and weekend 8/12. Beyond there The W. Atl Ridge builds back into the EC anchoring in a warm humid flow with some heat. Will go more into the pure dog days then. We'll have to see the progression and strength vs the late July projections. But overall warm and humid and likely storms chances (more if the boundary is nearby and more scattered / isolated if stronger W.A.R).

74 / 66 and mostly cloudy. Humid with some scattered storms today make way for a very nice weekend. By Mon (8/7) warm southerly flow will bring humidity and more widespread storms chances. Overall warmer and turning more humid and hot towards the end of next week as the trough lifts out back into the GL with the expanding western Atlantic ridge. Storms chances along the boundary - similar to early July but perhaps stronger ridge pushes the hevaiest west of the area.

67 / 55 off a low of 56. Another gorgeous low humidity, sunny day on tap. A bit warmer than yesterday but mostly low / mid 80s. Thu (8/3) transition to a more humid flow and with it warmer and storm chances, especially later Thu into Friday and again Fri PM. The western ridge shift back west ping pong between Dallas / PHX with trough into the GL/NE. The western Atlantic Ridge is pushed back east through the middle of next week. There is a surge of heat pressing east from the western ridge in the Mon (8/7) - Thu (8/10) timeframe with the next shot at 90s. Overall warmer starting Thu, humid and more storm chances. Longer range the W. At Ridge is building west with the troug forced west into the GL and heights rising into the ec by mid month which could sustsin for a much warmer - hot period of the rest of the month. Humid, warm - hot storm chances and tropics to be watches into the SE/GOM.
