Updated Wednesday Morning Forecast & Weather Notes — August 17th, 2016

· Transition Day! we should get into partly to mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 70s and drying northwesterly breeze 10 to 15 mph – what’s not to like?

· Minor chances for a couple boomer Thursday afternoon, then 3 days of dry weather going into this weekend. This forecast based off the Euro model which holds back precipitation incoming from another frontal passage along about Sunday night.

· Warm and humid weather returns as warmth builds up into the mid and upper 80s, possibly a couple 90 degrees reading by Sunday afternoon if we see partial sunshine.
