WEDNESDAY

Thunderstorm chances increase in the afternoon as a cold front begins to approach. Still hot, with highs near 90 and sticky humidity lingering. North winds near 5 mph may help a bit, but any stronger storm could bring downpours and gusty winds.

Scattered storms continue through the evening with mostly cloudy skies. It’ll feel just a bit cooler overnight with lows dropping into the upper 60s. Winds from the northeast around 5 mph.

7 DAY FORECAST

Monday through Wednesday brings more hot and steamy conditions, with daily highs in the 90s and feels-like temperatures near or above 100. Spotty storms may develop during the afternoons, but storm chances increase more substantially by Wednesday as a front pushes toward the region. This front brings scattered thunderstorms late Wednesday into early Thursday, followed by a refreshing break. By Thursday afternoon and into Friday, cooler and drier air settles in, with highs dipping into the 70s and overnight lows near 60. It’s shaping up to be a much more comfortable start to August.
