After the record-setting heat of Thursday, we’re looking in all directions for relief. While there won’t be much in terms of heat and humidity, there’s certainly some optimism over the threat for storms and rain.
As steering currents slow to a crawl, however, our concerns will revolve around too much of a good thing.
During intense droughts, the ground hardens and becomes temporarily impervious to rain. During strong thunderstorms, intense downpours can lead to massive runoff and flash flooding. That’s our main concern with any storms that form and get out of hand Friday and into the weekend. Dew points rose to the upper 70s across the Islands Thursday night, telling us that there’s a tremendous amount of water vapor available to these storms. Given the right setup, we could be in for some trouble.
