Hey again, friends…

Here’s my first official forecast in a little while. A reminder that my predictions are focused on the weather in and around Shillington, PA (where I teach) and that generally minor fluctuations should be expected in surrounding areas.

We have a gorgeous and unseasonably mild stretch in front of us here: low humidity, moderate temperatures, and clear skies dominate the extended forecast.

Weather narrative : Thunderstorms moving across the Midwest will arrive in our area later this evening and overnight. The storms currently affecting parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are quite violent, but by the time they reach us, they’ll be rather weakened. Still, look for strong winds and heavy rain with some of these storms. On Wednesday, we’ll start with high humidity and a few stray showers or storms, but then we’ll see clear and lowering dewpoints.

For the most part, through the end of this week and into next week we’ll see temperatures and humidity levels more typical for June or September than August. This time of year, highs average in the 85-87 degree range with lows in the mid 60s and high humidity.

After tomorrow, our next really solid chance for rain looks to be Saturday, August 16^th.

Beyond the forecast: Believe it or not, the trend is actually for more mild weather, with highs the following week in the mid 70s and lows getting into the low to mid 50s! (Of course, all that can change, but that’s the way it looks to me now…)
