Enjoy It While We Can

* As the title of this post suggests, that is exactly what we must try to do. Today has featured ample sunshine and temperatures running in the middle 70's. It won't be long before we are suffering through the sweltering heat and humidity of summer in the South. So, try to enjoy this nice weather while it's still available!

* Much of the week is going to feature fantastic weather. Clouds will increase a bit tomorrow and tomorrow night, as a weak disturbance passes overhead. There is not enough lift or moisture to produce rain with this feature. It won't be overcast, just a few more clouds out there.

* Thursday looks great, but changes get underway Friday. An area of low pressure will form over the central Plains. This will pull northeast towards the Great Lakes, dragging a cold front towards us. At this point, it seems that our threat of severe weather is low with this feature. But, we can't rule out a few strong thunderstorms as the front moves through.

* The weekend looks nice - a few showers may linger early Saturday, but most of the weekend will feature a mix of sun and clouds with comfortable temperatures...
