Back in the Saddle Once More. Late Spring Heat on the Rise with Shower and Storm Chances

Finally getting back to blogging again after a very busy few weeks with plans and such so I apologize for the lack of updates.  I'll try to cover all that I can regarding the rest of this week into next week.

If there is a time to start considering how much you'll be using the AC, now would be appropriate as highs are looking to keep pushing through the 80s and even some locations getting into 90 degree readings for highs for the rest of this week.  As far as rain chances go, we currently have a system going on back west that will be throwing back plenty of showers and storms through the rest of today and into tonight across MS and AL. There doesn't look to be anything overly-impressive as there only appears to be a general 20-40 percent chance for most locations (save for a few that stand at least a decent chance) as we finish up this week, which is going to make drought relief hard to come by where the rain's needed most.  For the Carolinas, the rain chances don't really show up until the weekend (excluding some mountain locations) while places further west will see potential from tonight and through Thursday.  By next week, the heat (and unfortunately rain chances) look to continue, at least through the early part.  We'll see if we luck out with getting increased chances for showers and storms to keep the heat in control but as of now, it looks like Summer is already making its visit to the Southeast for the time being.

Stay safe and stay cool.  Enjoy the rest of the week.  I will probably go back to doing these weekly updates unless something major appears (e.g. severe outbreak) to be in the works, which in that case there will be daily updates.
