Happy Sunday! Not quite as humid out there today, but it is still pretty hot!

This evening will be a typical summer evening full of sunshine and heat. Humidity is slightly lower today than what we’ve see lately, but it still has a bit of a sticky feel to it. Into the evening we will see temperatures top out in the upper 80s.

Overnight will be seasonal with temperatures into the low to mid 60s and clear skies. Wind should stay light as well. That might mean some Valley fog, but not necessarily widespread.

The Fourth of July will be very typical. Hot and sunny, with some humidity increasing as well. Along with the humidity, we will see an increase in clouds during the day. Temperatures will top out in the low 90s during the afternoon but feels like temperatures will be at or above 95°. The evening will be warm for fireworks, but we will stay dry!

Once we are through the holiday the pattern really starts to get active. Heat will continue to ramp up on Tuesday, but humidity will start to climb as well. High temperatures are going to be back into the low to mid 90s, but with the humidity it will feel more like 100°+. Feels like temperatures could be as high as 106° in some areas.

Storm Prediction Center's Slight Risk for Tuesday, July 5th

There is also a chance at some storms on Tuesday. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the entire Tri-State in a Slight Risk for severe storms. All that heat and humidity during the day will also create a lot of energy for storms. Right now, the main impacts from storms look to be damaging winds and large hail. However, we could see some very heavy downpours in storms. That would create a risk for some flooding.

Heat index values back over 100° next week

From there, every day during the week will be similar. Hot and humid, feels like temperatures at or above 100°, and a chance at storms. We won’t catch a break from any of that until later in the weekend.
