FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Wednesday!

We start the day nice and dry, with quite a bit of sunshine. Clouds filter in later, and temps quickly warm into the lower 90s, but "feels-like" temps approach the triple digits with high humidity. We'll then see the chance for pop-up thunderstorms late-afternoon into the evening as a system moves toward the tri-state area.

For Thursday, expect highs in the lower 90s, once again, but feeling close to the triple digits. Much of Thursday will be dry, similar to Wednesday, with pop-up storms then developing during the late-afternoon and evening.

On Friday, expect on-and-off rain and thunderstorm chances throughout the day. This will be a more widespread rain day. Highs top out in the upper 80s.

We hang onto a few showers into the start of the weekend Saturday, with humidity beginning to lower. We'll see nicer conditions by Sunday.
