Our weather is going to get pretty persistent as astronomical summer begins.

Meteorological summer began June 1, but your calendar follows the astronomical seasons - and it says summer begins today. Temperatures will be in the upper 90’s today, then we’ll be in the mid 90’s for the remainder of the forecast period.

The ridge of high pressure that will warm us up and keep any rain chances at bay today and tomorrow is headed east. As it digs in in the eastern US, we’ll be on the southwest side where southerly flow will take over. That will mean storms that develop south/southeast of us will move northward each afternoon. I’m not expecting severe weather - these will be your typical summer pop-up thunderstorms that can bring heavy downpours, frequent lightning/thunder, and sometimes some small hail and gusty winds. This is far from a guarantee that we will get storms each day, or even that there will be a lot of them that make it this far north - but we could see at least a few. Most of us will probably go all week without a drop of rain, but a lucky few may get a shower or two.

It will be breezy, but still hot and humid. You’ll want to take care of yourself by limiting outdoor activities during peak heating and hydrating.
