Summer Heat And Humidity Ramping Up This Weekend
A weather pattern change is on the way and it has us going from wet to hot!  Summer heat and humidity will be ramping up Friday and even more so over the upcoming weekend. 90+ degree high temps will become the norm. It’s looking like showers and t-storms will be fewer in number. Summer officially begins Friday June 20 and it’s going to feel ever bit of it.
In the meantime, late afternoon showers and storms have cooled the air mass quite a bit.  Some scattered showers will linger over the area through the evening hours.  It’s looking partly to mostly cloudy with temps hovering in the lower to mid 70s overnight.
We still can’t rule out scattered showers and even a few t-storms Friday. It should be fewer in number across the area. We’re expecting more sunshine and that will help boost temps into the lower 90s for highs.
Our upcoming weekend is looking even hotter! Temps are expected to reach the lower to mid 90s for highs. You factor in the humidity and it will probably feel more like 100. The old dreaded heat index may slowly becoming more of a factor. It’s going to be thinking about slowing down and taking it a little easier during those peak heating hours.
