FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Monday!

We are off to a fantastic start to the week! Highs will be cooler than average, topping out in the upper 70s to near 80 this afternoon, with clear skies, and very comfortable humidity.

Tuesday is also nice, just warmer, with mainly sunny skies, and highs warming into the upper 80s. Humidity still remains fairly pleasant, and we'll feel just a slight breeze.

By Wednesday, heat and humidity start to build. As a result, highs warm into the lower 90s, but it will feel hotter as a result of the humidity. In addition, we'll be looking at scattered storm chances, mainly during the afternoon and evening. Not a washout, but something we'll be keeping a close eye on for Red, White and BOOM!

For the July 4th holiday, we are looking at additional thunderstorm activity, with the bulk of it during that afternoon and evening, with the daytime heating. Highs will be in the middle 80s, with a very muggy feel to the air.

A few spotty storm chances linger into Friday, as temperatures slowly fall. By the weekend, we are looking more comfortable, with drier conditions.
