Continued Hot & Humid For Now
A hot and humid air mass remains in place for now but there’s signs a frontal passage may bring some relief to our area by midweek.
In the meantime, we’re back in the mid 90s with heat indices between 100 and 110 through Tuesday evening. Scattered showers and storms will be around to knock the heat off in spots. These develop during the late afternoon heating and will go into the evening hours. Some storms will be capable of very heavy rainfall, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds.
Midweek is setting up to be a transition period as we get on the backside of a frontal passage. The air mass will become a bit drier and you will be able to feel the difference. Temps will still manage to climb into the 90s but the humidity levels will come down. Rain chance will drop considerably and remain that way through late week.
Upcoming weekend will trend hot with moisture gradually increasing and that will lead to the chance of showers/storms returning to the area. It will be those isolated showers or storms that pop up during the late afternoon heating. This will basically be a summer-time weather pattern we’re all familiar with this time of the year.
