THURSDAY: Alternating between clouds and sun, the morning temperatures will rise from 21°C to mid 30°C. FIRST WARNING due to increased humidity across the region – bringing heat indices back up to 105-110 degrees in the afternoon hours. The saving grace? Isolated cooling showers or storms that could roll in with the breeze from the south during the afternoon. Most storms should die down after sunset, with lows around 70 degrees.
FRIDAY: The week ends with higher humidity, a mix of clouds and sun, and the chance of scattered showers along a sluggish front. In the meantime, expect another muggy day with highs in the 35s — then 40s thanks to the humidity. Storm chances will linger until late afternoon and evening as the front begins to move south. Lows will drop to 21 to 25 degrees.
EXTENDED FORECAST: As some fronts move into the region and linger nearby, expect more clouds through the weekend, with a greater chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms each afternoon. While this won’t end the drought, it will reduce the fire danger. Temperatures will eventually follow suit – highs falling to 27 degrees, lows to 15 degrees as the clouds slowly clear and allow more sun to shine through by the middle of next week.
