A Few PM Clouds, Hot

Winds have begun the turn to a more southerly direction and that's certainly evident this morning as temperatures are starting out near 66. An area of high pressure is located across South Carolina and this will gradually slide eastward today, which will continue to increase the moisture content across the area. A subtle upper level disturbance is moving through Arkansas this morning and this has contributed to a pocket of cooler temperatures aloft which has supported the development of a few showers and thunderstorms to our northwest and northeast. This disturbance will pass to our north by this afternoon and temperatures aloft will begin to warm. What this means is that we should stay dry and the best chance for showers and thunderstorms today will be to our north where the coolest temperatures aloft are found. Skies will be partly cloudy this afternoon as the high will top out near 92. It will feel hotter today than the last few days since dew points will be higher so make sure you drink plenty of water if you'll be outside doing any strenuous activities. Clouds may increase a bit as we go throughout the overnight hours, and the low tomorrow morning will be near 68.
