Video: Thunderstorm chances & humidity continues Friday

[00:00:00]THERE.

[00:00:01]YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO STAY HYDRATED TODAY TOO.

[00:00:04]IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER DAY WHERE HIGHS APPROACH THE 90S IN MANY SPOTS.

[00:00:09]THAT HUMIDITY IS UP THERE TODAY AS WELL.

[00:00:11]SO THAT HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT.

[00:00:13]TAKE BREAKS FROM THE HEAT IF YOU CAN.

[00:00:15]TODAY COULD HAVE OUR FIRST POTENTIAL HEAT WAVE ON THE OF THE SEASON IN THE MAKING HERE.

[00:00:20]IF WE CAN HIT 90 AGAIN TODAY.

[00:00:22]CENTER HARBOR, LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS IN THE SKY ON THE HORIZON WITH THE SUNRISE THIS MORNING.

[00:00:27]SOME CLOUDS OVERHEAD, BUT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS TODAY.

[00:00:31]AND AS THE DAY GOES ON, THE CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR A THUNDERSTORM CAN’T BE RULED OUT.

[00:00:37]THE STRONGEST STORMS.

[00:00:39]THAT POTENTIAL COMES AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THIS EVENING.

[00:00:41]TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW STARTING OFF ON THE WARM SIDE IN THE 60S AND 70S OUT THERE EARLY THIS MORNING, 70 IN CONCORD RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:49]AND THE DEW POINTS ARE ALSO IN THE 60S FOR MOST OF US ACROSS THE STATE NEAR 70.

[00:00:54]AND WHEN YOU HAVE DEW POINTS NEAR 70, THAT’S WHEN YOU GET THAT TROPICAL FEEL, THAT REALLY HEAVY FEEL IN THE AIR WITH ALL OF THAT MOISTURE.

[00:01:02]NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE, THOUGH, A SHARP CUTOFF BETWEEN THE HIGH HUMIDITY ACROSS EASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, AND THEN MORE REFRESHING AIR WITH DEW POINTS BACK IN THE 50S AS YOU HEAD FROM CHICAGO BACK FURTHER WEST.

[00:01:13]THAT’S ALL.

[00:01:14]WITH A COLD FRONT THAT’S BEEN CROSSING THE AREA AND CONTINUES TO MOVE TOWARDS US AND EVENTUALLY GETS HERE LATER ON TONIGHT.

[00:01:21]SO BEHIND THIS FRONT, WE ACTUALLY SEE THAT RELIEF AS WE HEAD INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

[00:01:27]BUT OUT AHEAD OF IT, WE’VE GOT THE HEAT.

[00:01:29]WE’VE GOT THE HUMIDITY ALL IN PLACE AND A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FIRING UP OUT AHEAD OF IT TOO.

[00:01:34]IN THE MEANTIME, JUST A COUPLE OF SHOWERS IN PARTS OF THE GRANITE STATE.

[00:01:38]NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE WEATHER.

[00:01:40]AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF OUR DAY.

[00:01:43]THERE’S THAT DEW POINT TREND, THE DROP OFF IN THE HUMIDITY GOING TO BE NOTICEABLE BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNING, YOU’RE LIKELY GOING TO ALREADY FEEL THAT DIFFERENCE AND IT STAYS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE RIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

[00:01:57]THE SEVERE THREAT TODAY, A LEVEL ONE OUT OF FIVE ACROSS REALLY THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE.

[00:02:03]SO AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, THAT’S WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL TO SEE A STRONGER STORM.

[00:02:09]AND THE BIGGEST THREAT THAT WE’RE WATCHING WITH ANY STRONGER STORM TODAY IS GOING TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

[00:02:16]ALSO SOME SMALL HAIL.

[00:02:17]AND OF COURSE, THE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS THAT WE CAN GET WITH ANY STORM AS WELL.

[00:02:22]HERE’S THE TIMELINE TAKING US THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TODAY.

[00:02:25]THAT ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM MIDDAY REALLY ANYWHERE AT ANY POINT, BUT PLENTY OF DRY HOURS DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

[00:02:31]AND THEN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EVENING.

[00:02:34]AND TONIGHT, THAT’S WHEN WE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR A STRONGER STORM TO DEVELOP.

[00:02:38]BUT IT’S GOING TO BE VERY HIT OR MISS, VERY ISOLATED.

[00:02:41]AND BY TOMORROW MORNING WE’RE IN THE CLEAR.

[00:02:43]PLENTY OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED TOMORROW.

[00:02:44]AND WE GET THAT RELIEF.

[00:02:46]SO BIG CHANGES IN HOW IT’S GOING TO FEEL OUT THERE FOR THE WEEKEND.

[00:02:51]SEVEN DAY FORECAST SHOWS A CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS OR STORMS SUNDAY NIGHT, BUT MOST OF SUNDAY LOOKS DRY.

[00:02:57]SO PRETTY DRY WEEKEND IN STORE FOR US.

[00:02:59]WE KIND OF HANG ON TO THE HEAT A LITTLE BIT.

[00:03:01]COULD COME CLOSE TO 90 AGAIN IN
