Some of us in the Tri-State did get rain today, but we all need it and we need it bad. Good news is, rain is in the forecast, but you need to get use to the heat for just a little bit more. All of this heat is caused by a high pressure system aloft. When we have a buckle in the jet stream, like we do, a ridge of high pressure and a trough of low pressure forms. Ridge means hot weather and the trough means storms. The ridge of high pressure is causing a heat dome over us. When you have that dome of heat, it just stays hot and nothing wants to form, but around it. We have seen the “Ring of Fire” in most of the area, but not in the heart of the Tri-State.

Overnight: Showers and thunderstorms will come to an end in the Tri-State overnight, some clouds around with muggy conditions, lows in the mid-70s.

Wednesday and Wednesday Night: A warm front is going to lift northward during Wednesday. Once again this year, Evansville will be above 100. We also are going to be more breezy with gust from 20-35MPH. The overnight hours will be clear, but still warm, muggy, and breezy with lows in the mid-70s again.

Thursday thru Friday: We do have cold front moving in on Thursday. This will give us our best chance of showers and thunderstorms for both the daytime and overnight hours. Read the Severe Weather Risk to see how severe they are forecasted to be. Clouds will increase on Thursday, still hot, humid, breezy highs in the upper 90s and overnight lows in the lower 70s. A few showers and thunderstorms will remain Friday behind the front, but cooler, if you want to call it that, with highs in the lower 90s with partly to mostly sunny skies.

Weekend: High pressure for the weekend. That means we will be having sunshine and highs for the weekend are forecasted to be in the upper 80s to lower 90s. We do have a chance of showers and thunderstorms starting late Sunday Night.

Monday and Tuesday: Watching a warm front that will bring back more showers and thunderstorms. Temps are forecasted at this time to stay in the lower 90s. If you do not see rain, skies will stay partly sunny to partly cloudy.

Severe Weather Risk: Slight Risk of severe weather on Thursday for part of the Tri-State. Damaging winds being the main overall threat with large hail also possible. Friday, Sunday Night, and Monday chances are on the strong side at this time, but isolated severe weather cannot be ruled out at this time.
