Currently
Goodmorning and thanks for viewing you Face of the Sky forecast! Another clear and sunny day to start your morning off with current temps in the mid 70s. Winds are calm this morning with dewpoints slowly rising. Dewpoints are already higher than yesterday and of course as dewpoints rises along with temperatures, it makes conditions very muggy and sticky. Also, with higher dewpoints we have another shot of rain today but slim though.

What's Happening Atmospherically
Relatively speaking, today will be just like yesterday's weather. I don't see anything different besides higher but drier dewpoints. The surface temperatures will not be enough to cause convection you generally see during the afternoon. Across the country, we are looking at a high ridge built up in the west with a large trough in the east. The center of the high pressure is in Texas and Oklahoma area. The Kansas and Oklahoma area has been hit hard recently by tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. A good thing for storm chasers wanting to see severe weather in action but lets continue to pray for those people who are being impacted by these storms. Speaking of the nature of weather, only 4 more days until the official day of the hurricane season kicks off. There are meteorologists who say that this year could be very active featuring alot of hurricanes and that the Atlantic is prime to brew up some strong hurricanes. You can check some information concerning this at http://www.2010season.28storms.com/.

Today
Expect conditions to be the same as yesterday but maybe slightly warmer due to increase in dewpoints. A mostly sunny day with temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Tonight, temperatures will drop to the mid 60s once again with partly cloudy conditions.

Friday outlook
Rain chances comes back into our forecast for tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by to take a look at your Face of the Sky weather for today! Go Magics and may God continue to bless each and everyone of you!
