Summer heat slowly returning

THIS AFTERNOON: Gorgeous weather! Temperatures remain in the 70s with lots of sunshine! Enjoy it! A pleasant evening will follow.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear skies overhead will lead to another cool night. Overnight lows fall into the upper 50’s and low 60’s.

EXTENDED: Temperatures start to creep up along with the humidity Thursday into the low 80’s. That warming trend will be the story going forward, with a return to the middle 80’s Friday and upper 80’s this weekend.  Storm chances will also return with the heat, kicking off Friday morning. The afternoon hours have a better chance to avoid the best storm coverage, but the chance will be there through the weekend. Our better chance of storms looks to favor the overnight into early morning hours not only Friday but through Monday.
