Heat Wave Continues

Granted, this isn't one of those typical summer heat waves, but it's impressive in its own right for so early in the season. The pesky upper ridge that was centered over us for the last several days has actually shifted westward and has placed us on the eastern periphery. This is important because it places us very near the primary road for convective complexes to our north to follow. The only problem is that it doesn't appear that any complexes will form to the north. However, computer models are finally indicating the possibility of a few clouds this afternoon and evening and a very slim chance for a shower. Before cloud cover can increase and showers can develop, highs will top out around 98 this afternoon. As previously mentioned, there may be a few clouds around this evening, but it will remain mild overnight with a low near 73.
