Weather Outlook

It was a nice day yesterday. Looked a little stormy at times, but I never saw a raindrop. Let us check our local WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Partly sunny today with a pop-up storm possible.We begin our Thursday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and very warm, humid conditions. During the morning commute, most will be dry. But a pop-up shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out in the morning. And into the afternoon, as we expect partly sunny skies and more warm, humid air to collect; a few more of these are possible. Highs reach the lower to mid-80s again. 

TONIGHT A few of these storms that develop into the late afternoon and early evening could be on the stronger side, mostly north of US 278 and west of US 45. Skies remain partly cloudy with perhaps an isolated shower through the night. We drop to the mid-60s by Friday morning.

Weather Outlook

This pretty weather was nice while it lasted. I think it is time for some rain. As hot and dry as it gets during the summer, we need not take it for granted. Follow us as we take a look at WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:

Showers and storms increase into the weekend.We begin our Friday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and areas of fog. An isolated shower cannot be ruled out at times, perhaps even a thunderstorm. Temperatures begin in the mid-60s. 

By the afternoon, we’ll see partly to mostly cloudy skies with periods of sunshine here or there. Temperatures will climb into the lower 80s. An isolated shower or storm is possible, but much more likely as we head into the late evening and overnight. 

We’ll drop into the upper 60s by Saturday morning with scattered showers and storms. And this will likely stick around during much of the day Saturday. There could be a few waves of rainfall during the day, sticking around until the middle of the evening. A few strong storms are possible, perhaps even severe. Most of this will exist over the southeastern section of our area.

On This Day

National Loyalty Day! Today is observed to recognize the American spirit of loyalty and the many sacrifices that have been made for our Nation.

National Mother Goose Day! Today we commemorate nursery rhymes. Mother Goose is the imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales. She is depicted in literature and book illustrations as an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl.

Law Day! In 1958, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower established this first day to mark the nation’s commitment to the rule of law. In 1961, Congress initiated this as the official day celebrating Law Day. The American Bar Association highlights a theme relating to law or the legal system.

Silver Star Banner Day! Today has become a representation of the Armed Forces members and veterans who have been wounded or became ill in combat in the wars fought by the United States. In 2010, the U.S. Congress declared this day.

National Hamburger Month! Hamburger Steak, originating in Germany, became a hamburger on buns with fixings. How do you dress your hamburger? Remember the Dudie Burger Festival this month and celebrate Hamburger Month!

Word of the Day: Circadian is being, having, or characterized by, or occurring in approximately 24-hour periods or cycles.

Quote of the Day: Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting, get understanding. -Bible, Proverbs 4:7
