This weekend will bring more typical heat, humidity and the obligatory chance of scattered mainly afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms. Our benign pattern appears to become even more sedate as high pressure ridging aloft will build across the area next week knocking down our rain chances into the isolated category and allowing for highs to push well into the mid-90s. In fact some spots across Central Louisiana may begin to approach the 100 degree mark a few days next week. The tropics remain nice and quiet and although I’m starting to get emails about “where is the hurricane season?”…one has to remember that nearly 90% of all activity in most years occurs after mid-August. So far, thanks to El Nino and plenty of dry Saharan air and dust enveloping Atlantic tropical waves, we’re are off to a nice and quiet start. We’ll probably have another couple of weeks before things begin to heat up. In the mean time, enjoy the weekend! Rob
