We’ll be stuck with mostly cloudy skies throughout the remainder of the day. Despite some shortwave ridging, those clouds should keep temperatures in the mid 80s as highs top out around 86°! Not too shabby of a day!

A few isolated showers may develop overnight. Lows will be around 73°.

Wednesday – Showers & Storms Possible – High 87° / Wed Night – Mostly Cloudy – Low 75°

We may have to deal with patchy fog again on Wednesday morning. A shortwave will move through the region, leading to a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Apart from the chance of storms, conditions will be muggy as the high reaches around 87°. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will be likely and no severe storms are expected as of now, despite heavy rain, lightning, and isolated gusty winds being a threat.

Thursday – Showers & Storms Likely – High 89° / Thur Night – Isolated Storms – Low 71°

Thursday will bring the best chance of rain to the region. A cold front will work through the region throughout the day, leading to scattered showers and storms.

Mostly cloudy skies should be prevalent, but that won’t stop temperatures from making a run at 90°. Strong southwest flow will lead to a surge of warmth ahead of the front.

A few afternoon and evening storms could become strong. Heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds will be the main concerns. As of now the Storm Prediction Center is watching the region just to the north of us. However, this outlook may change in the coming days.
