Perfect Baseball Weather in the Ohio Valley and a 15-Day Pacific Northwest Streak

Y'all, while parts of the country are dealing with stubborn rain in Florida and gusty fire-weather winds out in the Plains, a massive dome of high pressure is doing some heavy lifting for the eastern and central United States today. That means sinking air, clear skies, and a whole lot of really comfortable weather to get outside and enjoy.

RHY Nice Weather Outlook Day 1

The "Perfect" Zone Today

If you live in Dallas, Memphis, Nashville, or Louisville, you are sitting right in the middle of our "Perfect" category today. We are talking about afternoon highs in the mid-70s to low-80s, virtually a zero percent chance of rain, and crisp dewpoints in the 40s and 50s. It is the exact kind of day where you want to keep the windows open and take your lunch break outside on a patio.

This setup is absolutely ideal for evening baseball. If you are heading to the ballpark to watch the Reds in Cincinnati, the Pirates in Pittsburgh, or the Guardians in Cleveland, you could not ask for better tailgating and first-pitch weather. The air will be dry and pleasant right through the final inning.

Just a quick heads up for the midday hours. With skies this clear, the UV index is pushing right up to 8.0 across the South and Ohio Valley. You will definitely want sunscreen if you are spending extended time outside this afternoon.

Seattle's Historic Run Continues

Meanwhile, out West, the Pacific Northwest is putting on an absolute clinic. Cities like Seattle, Everett, and Marysville just officially hit a 15-day streak of nice weather.

Today brings another "Beautiful" rating to the region. High pressure continues to keep the typical spring rain at bay, offering another fantastic window for hiking, dog walking, or grabbing coffee outside.

Looking Ahead to Thursday

RHY Nice Weather Outlook Day 3

If you are already looking forward to the end of the work week, Thursday is shaping up to be a stunner for the Deep South and the Ohio Valley.

A dry cold front is going to sweep through the region, reinforcing this amazing airmass and keeping the humidity practically non-existent. Places like Birmingham, Huntsville, and Memphis will see another "Perfect" rating on Thursday, with highs peaking in the highly comfortable low-to-mid 70s.

Enjoy the sunshine today, and remember to check the daily maps to plan your week!
