YESTERDAY’S HIGH:68 LOW: 60 PRECIPITATION: .18″
After a few days of cloudy skies and high temperatures in the 60s, today will be much warmer as a warm front moves to our north. Some showers early this morning then another chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. We should see some partial sunshine and high tempertures will rise into the 80s with continued high humidity.
Thursday will be a hot and humid day but a cold front will likely produce some thunderstorms that may be strong to severe in the afternoon and evening.
High pressure will then build into the area on Friday giving us plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures and much less humidity.
The high pressure will probably give mainly dry conditions for the weekend, and can’t rule out a shower Sunday afternoon, but the chances are only around 20%. Temperatures will be quite warm with an increase in humidity.
Very hot and humid Monday and Tuesday as a strong ridge of high pressure will be over our area, most high temperatures will be in the upper 90s.
