Fire breaks out in Harmony’s historic district
MADE TWO ARRESTS. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE WARMING NOW AS WE START THE NEW WEEK, AS IT FEELS LIKE SUMMER OUTSIDE, WE’LL GET TO ABOUT 90 DEGREES. TODAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TOMORROW AS A FEW MORE CLOUDS WORK IN. A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING AN AFTERNOON SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AS WE GET A LITTLE MORE HUMID. WEDNESDAY BRINGS A COLD FRONT THAT BRINGS RAIN SHOWERS AND MAYBE A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WEDNESDAY IS AN IMPACT DAY AND THEN WE WILL COOL DOWN ON THURSDAY AND COOLER AIR WILL LAST AS WE START YOUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND AS WELL. SO WE ARE ON PACE SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON TO MAKE IT TO 90 DEGREES. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR WE GET THERE. ALSO, SITTING ABOUT A MONTH OR SO EARLY WHEN WE NORMALLY SEE OUR FIRST 90 DEGREE DAY. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THAT SHOULD HELP TO BUMP THE TEMPERATURES UP WITH THE SUNSHINE THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE. SO A VERY WARM DAY. IF YOU ARE HEADING OUTSIDE TOMORROW, WILL MAKE IT 87 AGAIN. REALLY THE MAIN RESTRICTION TOMORROW IS JUST A FEW MORE CLOUDS. THAT’S STILL WELL ABOVE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. AND EVEN WITH THAT, A SPOT OR 2ND MAY STILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO 90 TOMORROW. WE NEED A LITTLE MORE PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TOMORROW MORNING. SUNSHINE AND THE WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST, AS WELL AS STAYING DRY TOMORROW. IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE, JUST NOT AS LIKELY AS TODAY. OUR NEXT SYSTEM IS HERE ON WEDNESDAY. THAT BRINGS A COLD FRONT WILL BE ONLY AT 74 DEGREES. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE MORNING COMMUTE SHOULD BE OKAY, BUT RAIN SHOWERS WILL ARRIVE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON, AND THERE COULD BE A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER AS WELL. THIS WILL CONTINUE SLIDING EASTWARD AND AS WE GET TO THE EVENING COMMUTE, RAIN WILL BEGIN TAPERING OFF. AND SO IT’S REALLY THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE DAY FROM ABOUT LATE MORNING UNTIL WE GET TO IN JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE EVENING COMMUTE, THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE RAIN SHOWERS, WE DRY OUT ON THURSDAY AND IT KNOCKS US DOWN TO 68 DEGREES AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S NOT A DRY ONE. 69 ON FRIDAY. SHOWERS LATE FRIDAY WILL BE LINGERING THROUGH YOUR SATURDAY AT 72. SUNDAY, WE’RE BACK TO AVERAGE OFF, BUT STILL A SHOWER CHANCE
