The sun should break through later this morning.  Temps should rise into the high 80s with dewpoints near  69 or 70.

A very summer-like day for the first day of September.

A chance of widely scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon– the NAM based HRRR predicts these storms to be much more widely scattered and less organized than yesterday’s storms.

Most areas may not see any rain today.

My uncertainty last night with today’s forecast is manifest this morning, as we have an area of showers that is almost stationary and is oriented along the upper air jet flow vorticity at 300mb. This feature could be persistent today and the NAM model (often wrong lately) has been correct with this forecast so far. Indeed, the NAM predicts even heavier showers for the afternoon today.

Some areas today won’t see much if any rain, but if you’re currently getting some rain, this area of rain may be persistent and slow to move.

After a string of almost perfect weekend weather this summer, today’s less than stellar weather is nature’s way of moving things toward the mean.
