Seasonable Tuesday before the 90s return the rest of the week

After a cool start in the 50s, we’ll see temperatures reach into the lower to mid-80s under partly sunny skies Tuesday afternoon. A stray thunderstorm is possible over the mountains region, otherwise any rain or storm chance holds off until at least late Tuesday night into Wednesday.

The heat and humidity will be building in for the rest of the week. Wednesday, highs will reach into the lower 90s, although we’ll likely see mainly cloudy skies, the WSW wind will usher in the heat and we’ll be dealing with scattered storms developing in the afternoon and evening.

Thursday will be hotter and humid with highs into the mid to upper 90s, but expect heat index values to reach into the triple digits thanks to dewpoints into the lower 70s. Thursday will be partly to mostly cloudy with isolated PM storms.

Friday brings a better chance of thunderstorms as a cold front will be swinging across the region. Highs will still be able to reach into the mid to upper 90s ahead of the front with heat index values into the triple digits again. Some of these storms could be on the strong to severe side, we’ll continue to monitor as we get closer.

For the weekend, highs will be back into the lower 90s, with isolated thunderstorm chances Sunday. Monday will bring scattered storms and highs back into the upper 80s.
