A look ahead
Typical July weather returns as the work week kicks off on Monday with mostly sunny skies, rising humidity, and highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s. A building dip in the jet stream nearby brings the potential for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Perhaps a better chance of showers or storms Monday night with lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium
Tuesday should bring increased rain chances at times. The afternoon into evening likely has the greatest potential for stronger storms as daytime heating helps add fuel. Isolated to scattered damaging winds, some hail, and potentially flooding will be the main factors to watch. Highs may trend a touch cooler with the extra clouds around, so mainly mid-80s to near 90. Confidence: Medium
Wednesday should start off with decreasing rain chances and increasing sunshine. Highs reach the mid- to upper 80s, with a chance for an afternoon shower. Confidence: Low-Medium
High pressure begins to build in by Thursday, allowing plenty of sunshine with highs in the mid-80s to near 90 and lower humidity. Confidence: Medium
