5/24 - 8:30pm - Some Clouds and Air Pollution

This weather lately is just getting worse and worse. First we start off with a nice dry and warm ridge sitting over the eastern half of the country. Then you add in some humidity and stagnant air. That's when things become nasty.

Our air pollution levels have been terrible the past couple of days because of this stagnant air. And now we're adding in humidity? What a mess.

Our more dire issue is the lack of rain, which isn't getting any better. The GFS has little chance for any scattered storms over the next few days. The only way I see any relief could be on Memorial Day, when a system could get us some rain. This is counting on the fact that a previous system weakens this ridge enough to get this next system in here.

I don't think we'll see much change in temperature in the next few days either, so mid to upper 80's will stick around for a while longer.
