A look ahead
Higher humidity on Thursday with partly to mostly cloudy skies, and highs in the 80s to near 90. Numerous afternoon to evening thunderstorms are a good bet. Thursday night brings more chances for scattered shower and storms with lows in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Friday may start cloudy and then see some sunnier intervals in the afternoon pushing highs to around 90 with moderate to high humidity. Afternoon to evening thunderstorms could develop yet again. Muggy Friday night with partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
The upcoming weekend continues with periods of cloudy skies, some mugginess, and daily storm chances. Saturday is the steamier of the two days with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. Highs ease to the low to mid-80s on Sunday, when humidity may drop some. Showers and storms are possible Saturday night with lows in the 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium
Next week looks like more of the same: muggy highs near 90 – which is around the norm, and daily chances of showers and thunderstorms.
