A look ahead
Still mostly cloudy and pretty humid Tuesday with highs in the 80s. Low pressure passing nearby looks to keep some showers and possibly thunderstorms going at times. A few heavier storms could produce gusty winds and localized flooding. Confidence: Low-Medium
Partly sunny Wednesday with highs in the mid-80s and humidity finally a bit lower (dew points in the mid- to upper 60s). Rain chances look considerably lower, but an isolated shower or storm is still possible. Confidence: Medium
Highs make a move back to near 90 or in the low 90s Thursday and Friday. Shower and storm chances may trend a bit higher again, too.
Today’s daily digit — 1/10: Thermometer readings well into the 90s before a repeat of late-day storm chances. Still not much to like despite being slightly less hot. | 🤚 Your call?
