Yesterday the haze from the western fires may have kept high temperatures down a few degrees. We should still see some haze this morning but as a cold front approaches we likely will have showers and thunderstorms this afternoon Some storms may be strong to severe with gusty winds and small hail possible. We should see clearing by this evening.
After weeks of being either very hot or having rain, we should have some of the nicest weather of the summer so far with sunny skies each day along with seasonably warm temperatures and the humidity will be quite comfortable with dew points in the 50s.
More humid air moves into the area Sunday and there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday into Monday as a cold front moves through the area.
Tuesday looks to be sunny and hot but less humid as high pressure builds into our area.
