Covington FirstAlert Forecast for Friday, August 10th, 2012

Warnings, Watches, and Advisories
None

THIS WEEKEND: After a stormy Thursday evening, we had nice fall weather this Friday to end the work week. Just to make it better, that nice weather will be here for the weekend. That trough of low pressure that moved over us Thursday is heading northeast and on the back side will push down cooler, drier air for the weekend. Not only that, we have an area of high pressure that will also head our way overnight Saturday and keep us clear once again. Overnight tonight and Saturday both look to be nice with lows in the low to mid-50s. Saturday and Sunday also nice under mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Overnight Sunday, I am watch a system ahead of a warm front that will head our way. We do have a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Clouds will increase and keep up above 60 for overnight.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY: On Monday, that warm front will life northward with a weak low pressure system and a weak cold front behind it. We have a 50/50 chance of seeing rain for Monday. Otherwise, skies mostly cloudy in the mid to upper 70s. Back side of the cold front Tuesday and we have an area of high pressure moving in also. I do believe that high will be weak, so we will see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the upper 70.

WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY: High pressure will move towards the east and winds will shift from the south putting our temps in the low to mid-80s under mostly sunny skies. Thursday and Friday gives us another chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms as another system will move in. Rain chances for Thursday at 30% and Friday at 14%. Remember, just a little bit of rain can cool us down just a by a few degrees. Thursday looking to be partly cloudy in the low to mid-80s and Friday around 80 under mostly sunny skies.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No big chances of severe weather for the next seven days, but we might have to watch out for Monday. Some storms could be on the strong side. Main threats should be some gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Watching Tropical Depression 7 about 450 Miles East of Barbados. As of the 8PM AST Advisory, winds were 35MPH, moving West at 24MPH, and pressure at 1009mb. NHC has this being a weak, and I do mean weak, tropical storm Saturday afternoon, but everything is just not together to make it a tropical storm, so no telling if this will be a weak tropical storm or just a tropical depression. NHC has not put out a 5-Day track if that tells you much about it.
