The Lower Ohio Valley Weather Blog: Tremendous Day for Early August & Storm Chances?

What a wonderful day! Temperatures this afternoon have made it only into the upper 80's but the real kicker is the dewpoints. Dewpoint values range from the upper 50's to the lower 60's which is down right comfortable. This comes after one of the most humid days of the year where values were in the upper 70's! What relief a cold front can do.

I'm not so sure this will last. Tomorrow looks kinda wet and stormy when a complex of showers and storms will come into the area. It will also a bit more humid, with dewpoint values in the lower 70's. Highs will probably be around 90 with partly to mostly cloudy skies.

Looking out a bit long range, early next week looks rather nice. Model data suggests an increase in our rain chances and a cool down. How cool am I taking about? Well I'd say low to middle 80's.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Emily does not look as nearly as impressive as it had been overnight. Dry air along with some interaction with land as weakened Emily down to a 40 MPH storm. Hurricane hunters have not found a low level circulation today so this thing might be nothing here in the next couple days. This is one of the most difficult forecast of a tropical cyclone we've had to deal with so far this hurricane season. Look after this blog post on the weather discussion to find model data along with National Hurricane Center tracks/forecasts.

Rest of today: Sunny, pleasant, temps falling through the 80's

Tonight: A few clouds around, humidity increasing, lows around 70

Tomorrow: Partly Sunny, 40% chance of showers and storms, more humid, highs around 90
