Storm Team4 Forecast: More highs in the 90s, rain chances later
4 things to know about the weather:
- Summer sizzle
- A bit humid Saturday
- Isolated weekend storms
- Cooler early next week
Saturday comes with a steady increase in clouds and a chance for some scattered storms after sunset and into the overnight hours. Rain chances will peak at barely 30% from 9 p.m. Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday, as a cold front slides through the area.
The cooler air will lag a bit behind the front, so Sunday temperatures will still climb to around 90°. The difference you’ll feel Sunday will be a steady drop in humidity levels, thanks to a northwest breeze.
Much more pleasant weather is still on track for early next week. Monday and Tuesday will both be sunny and seasonably warm, with highs in the low 80s and overnight lows in the 50s for everywhere but the urban centers.
Hotter and more humid weather is expected later next week. No widespread rain is in the forecast, but afternoon storms will be much more common, so spotty drought relief is at least a possibility.
