This Week
Temperature begin to soar back into the 90s early this week as a ridge of high pressure builds off the Southeastern seaboard. With the added humidity, it will feel more like the upper 90s.

***Drought Monitor Thursday 8/06 Update***(More Improvements!)
The drought monitor continues to slowly improve across the region. Severe & extreme drought covers less of our area. Moderate & Abnormally dry drought continues to expand further from West Virginia into our region. We’re still finding a portion of the region under a severe drought with a smaller area under an extreme drought, we still need more rain!
Tracking the Tropics
The Atlantic basin is starting to wake up, with 3 areas of interest for tropical formation. Our next tropical system would be named Cristobal. Stay tuned for more updates.
