Weather

Last week, our weather ended very wet, with some flooding. Temperatures were at or just above average for this time of year. This week is completely different! Thanks to that, here’s a quick Tri-Cities Weather Blog forecast through Friday!

• Tonight-Partly to mostly cloudy skies. Lows near 50.
• Tuesday-Partly to mostly sunny. High 75. Mostly clear tomorrow night, low 47.
• Wednesday-Sunny skies all day long. High 76.
• Thursday-Partly cloudy. High 78.
• Friday-Mostly sunny. Highs near 80.

Simple, isn’t it? High pressure positions itself over top of us tomorrow and Wednesday, bringing us temperatures from our northwest that are ten degrees and more below our average! Normally it’s hot and humid as we finish August, but cooler weather is a couple weeks early this year.

Tuesday should be the coolest day of the week, as will the morning leading to it. Temperatures slowly modify toward the 80 degree mark by late in the week, and should be around that ballpark into the weekend. Despite some clouds around today and tonight, we have almost no chance of rain until perhaps Sunday at this point.

So, if you’re planning on doing anything outside this week, it’s a great time to do it! We’ll get one more spell of warmer weather before we start descending into fall, so get out and enjoy the cooler weather. I went outside for a while today, and it was quite nice. Should be that way for quite a while!
