Well, what a day it was.
It just felt so hot out there it was the
heat and the humidity together that made it
just so unbearable across Western New York.
But we do have improvements on the way,
but there's still a lot to track within
the next, let's say 48 hours or so.
But the first thing is really that the
high humidity it's not going anywhere
until we get to about Monday night,
Tuesday morning when that finally
snaps and breaks as that cold
front works its way through.
There will be chances for rain
and thunderstorms on Monday,
especially as we get towards
the second-half of the day.
And then there are more normal temperatures
by the time we get to Tuesday,
our average high for this time of
year should be around 80 degrees,
so that's just a preview of
what's on the way.
So for tonight temperatures very
mild and we'll have the chance for
some showers during the overnight.
It is extremely humid.
74 is the overnight low.
It's going to feel like it's closer to
80 in many spots during the overnight.
So fans.
Air conditioners,
you name it.
It's gonna be working overtime to keep
you cool and once we head into Monday again,
there are a few showers during the overnight.
Very limited.
It's not this widespread shield of rain,
shall we say.
But by the time we start the day tomorrow,
we do have some showers popping through the
areas right along Lake Ontario shoreline.
So Wilson allcott as you head towards there.
But you know generally there could be a
few light showers for the morning commute.
Ultimately it's really the second-half of
the day where things start to get a little.
Unsettled,
so this is right around the lunch hour.
Just slightly after some showers
from Medina all the way towards
areas like Coldon and Springville.
And then you see this line back
towards Northwest Pennsylvania up
towards Erie and Ripley and Westfield.
You'll get in on some of those showers
by the time we get to about 2:00 to
3:00 o'clock now as we take you towards
the afternoon drive home should be OK.
There will be some showers around.
We can't rule it out completely but we
do miss out on some of the most intense
rain that would make it difficult to
get home in a timely fashion on Monday.
You know we're watching this,
but once you do get home and
we do have temperatures,
well still muggy.
But we're watching for showers that are
up towards Southern Ontario and the cold
front that's making its way through.
There are changes on the way,
so this line of showers
certainly impressive in nature,
but it's making its way into
Western New York.
This will be here late Monday
night into early Tuesday morning,
so by about 11:00 o'clock,
we're going to be watching this
very closely as the leading edge of
this will work its way into Niagara,
Orleans and Genesee counties.
Also, Northern Erie County as well.
And then. That line certainly
works its way into our region,
so we do have rain during the overnight
hours from Monday into Tuesday.
Some of it could be heavy at times and
everyone gets a good soaking out of this
and we still desperately need some rain
to really cure those drought conditions.
But by Tuesday morning,
you do notice that we have
few showers lingering around.
It's really in the morning where
we're going to be dealing with that,
but watch as the cold front
officially pushes through and it does
keep things on the cloudier side.
But we do get a little bit of sunshine.
And the northerly wind will feel super
nice compared to what we've been dealing
with and those humid conditions,
so the humidity sticks around as
we head into the day on Monday.
Look at that humidity.
It's still in the upper 60s and low
70s in terms of those dew points,
but once we get into the afternoon it
is still sticky. Still humid, no relief.
Really.
On Monday afternoon or Monday evening.
Look at this.
This is not much better as it actually
gets more humid in the evening,
but once we get into the overnight powers
you see this color changing a little bit.
See it's nudging its way in here,
so that's where we have the big change on
the way so you do notice by Tuesday morning.
Yeah,
we'll still be a little drizzly
and a little cloudy,
but the cold front is going to
start to clear things out and
also ushering lower humidity.
So that is great news because
it has been just a steam bath
all across Western New York,
so this is what you can expect
by Tuesday afternoon.
Dew points back into the 50s and
it feels like a lifetime since.
Had dew points in the 50s because
it's just been so sticky and so
humid heat index values wanna show
you what you can expect tonight in
terms of what it will feel like,
so it'll feel close to 80 in some
spots during the overnight tomorrow
morning when you head out the door it
will feel like the upper 70s humidity.
Definitely very noticeable,
but again,
it's still steamy in the afternoon and
especially for areas out towards Rochester.
As you head out towards Monroe,
Livingston and Wayne counties.
Very warm out there but we will
feel like it's the.
Upper 80s some areas may feel like it's 90,
but definitely still uncomfortable
for most of the day before things
start to even out and really
start to cool down in terms of
precipitation as we look ahead, right?
We don't have much precipitation
in the seven day forecast,
but beyond that it just looks like
it's going to be pretty average
all across Western New York.
So we do have a chance for some rain.
This is looking at August 13th
to August 17th,
the second full week of August.
All right, let's get you to the
seven day forecast so it is breezy.
As we head into the day tomorrow,
we do have winds that could gust up
to about 25 to 35 miles an hour and
again the rain and thunderstorms.
The best chance for widespread
coverage really makes its way in
Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Notice that we still have a
little bit of rain Tuesday and
temperatures cool down significantly.
We're back into the 70s.
Wednesday looks beautiful,
plenty of sunshine,
and that is the first day of the
Erie County Fair and then we do have
cooler air on Friday especially and
then as the Bills have their first.
His preseason opener on Saturday
looks like it's gonna be dry and very
comfortable all across Western New York.
Thanks for tuning in.
