Wx Summary

Another pleasant day is in store for the plateau, with lots of sunshine and low humidity. The warmth and humidity we come to expect this time of year will begin returning on Wednesday, leading to a very slight risk for an afternoon storm. Humidity increases further on Thursday, leading to more isolated storm chances, especially in the afternoon. A slow-moving frontal boundary moving south will kick up still more showers and storms for Friday and into the holiday weekend. The weekend is not looking like a washout, but there will likely be scattered showers and storms across the plateau through that time period.

Almanac

Hurricane Forecast

The tropics remain active, especially for this time of year. The yellow-shaded regions only have 20% chances for development, but that will still need to be watched very closely over the coming days.

The area that has been red-shaded for the last several days is now on the brink of becoming a tropical storm. That system will stay south of the U.S. but is now expected to become the season’s first hurricane.
