Summer heat and storms continue to dominate the weather forecast for the coming days. According to a subjective rating of the day’s weather, today’s conditions earn a 5 out of 10. The heat and humidity are still in full swing, and there is a rising chance of storms and downpours. While this is typical for midsummer, it may not be ideal for those seeking relief from the relentless heat.
The forecast for today includes a growing chance of showers and storms as the day progresses, with temperatures reaching the upper 80s to low 90s. Tonight, there is a possibility of an evening storm and partly cloudy skies, with low temperatures in the low to mid-70s. Tomorrow, the afternoon brings another chance of showers and storms, and temperatures will remain in the upper 80s to low 90s. On Sunday, showers and storms are likely to develop later in the day, with temperatures in the sticky 80s.
The summer heat tracker predicts more days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees in the coming days. The humidity will remain high through the weekend, along with increased chances of afternoon rain. While the number of showers and storms may decrease slightly on Saturday and into the workweek, Sunday could see numerous storms.
For today, moderate levels of sunshine in the morning will contribute to the development of showers and storms in the afternoon. The continuing high humidity, with dew points above 70 degrees, will make the high temperatures feel at least like the mid-90s to near 100. The evening may bring lingering showers and storms, with low temperatures in the low to mid-70s.
Looking ahead, Saturday may start with sunnier conditions, but there is still a chance of showers and storms in the afternoon. The downpour risk is expected to be a bit lower compared to today. The humidity will continue to factor in, making the upper 80s to low 90s feel more like the mid-90s. Sunday, in particular, has a high chance of rain, with midday and afternoon hours seeing the most activity. Flash flooding is a concern, and temperatures are expected to stay in the low to mid-80s.
Sunday night may see showers, storms, and downpours tapering off slowly, with temperatures in the sticky upper 60s to low 70s. Monday and Tuesday might bring somewhat less humid air, but temperatures will still be warm, reaching the mid-80s to around 90. Despite slight chances of showers, skies should be fairly bright.
As the week progresses, there may be more clarity on rain timing and drier periods. The forecast suggests that relief from the heat and humidity may be on the horizon, but for now, summer weather continues to dominate the region.
