Hot and breezy again, storms later tonight

What we’re Tracking

• Hot & breezy again Tuesday
• Mid-week storm chances
• Heat back up late week

The persistent south wind and humidity continue to give us warm mornings. Temperatures are in the middle to upper 70s with a sustained south wind from 15-25 mph. We hang on to a mostly clear sky, but cloud cover increases in the later morning hours.

We look to hold on to the heat this afternoon. Heat index values will continue to be higher than the air temperature. Highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s for today, but heat indices in the middle 90s. Make sure if you have to be outside to take frequent breaks in the shade and stay hydrated! There should be a fairly strong southerly wind at 15-25mph for the afternoon, which will help it feel a little better.

Isolated storms are possible late Tuesday, mainly over the northwestern counties of the area. By Wednesday, we should start to see more of an active weather pattern take place that will give us a few chances for rain Wednesday into Wednesday night. This should cool us down into the middle 80s for Wednesday before we clear out and heat back up as the week goes on.
