Weather

THURSDAY WEATHER: 🌤️ Warming temperatures will be the theme for the next few days, but it’ll still be pretty nice for this time of year.

Sunrise/Sunset: 7:04/8:14
Normal Temps: 84°/60° (Records: 96° in 1980, 46° in 1968)
Year-To-Date Rainfall: 43.8" (Normal: 40.6")

😎 DETAILS: Dry weather with below-average temperatures will continue as we close out the work week. But we’re creeping back close to normal. We’ll be about 78° today and 81° tomorrow.

🌤️ THE WEEKEND: We’ll push to about 82° on Saturday under sunny skies, which is pretty close to average for this time of year. Nighttime lows will be warming, too, as we see a return of moisture. By Sunday, we’ll see a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures topping out near 80°.

🗽 NEXT WEEK: Labor Day will bring a 30% chance of thunderstorms with a high of about 77°. We’ll continue to see slight chances of rain each day for much of next week, with afternoon high temperatures near 80°.

🛶 RIVER CONDITIONS: Streamflows are a bit above average for this time of year. The Big South Fork River is flowing just under 150 cubic feet per second (the daily average is 136 cfs). Clear Fork is flowing at about 50 cfs at Burnt Mill Ford near Robbins, which is about double the typical streamflow this time of year. Water temperatures were slightly warmer yesterday, but only topped out at about 75°, which is a bit chilly for a swim when the air temperature is only in the upper 70s. The summer river swimming season is just about over.

🌀HURRICANE WATCH: Tropical Storm Fernand continues to be the only organized action in the Atlantic, and he is no threat to the U.S. An extremely quiet hurricane season continues to be very quiet. No additional tropical storm formation is expected for the next 7-10 days. This is the time of year when tropical storms can sometimes bring major rains to our area if they get into the Gulf, but it’s not happening so far this year.
