Today’s Weather Outlook

So, here’s the scoop: we’re expecting potential thunderstorms primarily before 10 a.m. and again after 2 p.m. As the sun lights up the sky, the chances of rain will creep up to about 30% later tonight, bringing temperatures down to a comfortable 71°F.

Weather for the Rest of the Week

Looking ahead to Wednesday, it seems like more of the same! Expect those high temperatures to hang around 95°F with some light winds to keep things a tad breezy. Keep those umbrellas handy, though, as there’s a 20% chance of those pesky afternoon showers and storms continuing through Thursday, but it should clear up by nighttime for a peaceful evening.

Speaking of Thursday, prepare for a potential 30% chance of rain before midnight, with lows settling around 73°F. How’s that for a warm night?!

Now, let’s talk about the weekend. It looks like we might finally get a bit of relief from the sweltering heat. Saturday is projected to peak at 92°F, with thunderstorms potentially rolling in during the afternoon. Don’t forget your sunscreen, as the sun should still be shining before the clouds roll in!

Then comes Sunday and Monday, with both days keeping to similar weather patterns. Expect daytime highs around the 93-94°F mark, accompanied by a 40% chance of evening precipitation. It feels like we’re getting a classic late-summer mix!
