All, Just wanted to provide a quick update to our email yesterday about the expected weather next week. Overall there are no big changes to our forecast. There is high confidence for temperatures to be above normal, with many locations for much of next week seeing highs reaching into the lower 90s. Combined with minimal chances for significant rainfall, this could result in rapid onset drought conditions with potential impacts to agriculture, water resources, and potentially an increased risk of brushfire activity. Humidity levels will be slow to increase, so at this point in time it does not appear we will see "Heat Index"/"Feels Like Temperatures" much above the actual high temperatures. Thus we are not expecting another round of the extreme heat as we've experienced several times this summer. Lastly, a reminder that we are entering the time of the year that tropical activity increases in the Atlantic. Although there are areas being watched, at this point there is no indication of anything that will impact the region in the next week. Please refer to hurricanes.gov for the latest tropical weather information that is updated multiple times a day. Attached are several graphics showing aspects of the forecast for the next week. Andy Nash, Kyle Pederson, Francis Tarasiewicz If you have any questions or would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
