The system formerly known as Debby is long gone and now we can enjoy nice dry Canadian air for the next several days. Dew points will be slowly coming down today but they will still be on the high side into the afternoon. Look for decreasing clouds and increasing sunshine from west to east on this Saturday. High temperatures will be mostly in the lower 80s. Some warmer spots to the south could push it to 84 or 85 for a high. Dew points will be settling in the upper 50s to lower 60s by the end of the day. We have no issues with showers as the radars are going to be nice and quiet locally for awhile.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Good Friday evening, everyone! I hope you all had an amazing workweek. Heading into next week, a large troughing pattern will move in for the eastern half of the country, allowing some of us to get a break from this summertime heat. Unfortunately, this is not the case out West as ridging will dominate and continue to bring above-average temperatures. Overall, this pattern across the U.S. typically limits precipitation, so don’t be surprised if your area stays dry for at least a couple of days in a row.
