Tracking chances for storms and heat this week

TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy with an isolated storm or two. Patchy fog overnight is possible. Lows around 70.

TOMORROW: Morning fog followed by decreasing clouds. An isolated storm is possible, but temperatures reach the upper 80s.

EXTENDED: This active weather pattern continues for most of the week with waves of energy sliding west to east along the jet stream positioned to our north. There will be a daily chance for storms, but more organized complexes of storms will be harder to pin down until the day of as it materializes. High temperatures reach the mid-upper 80s each afternoon through the weekend with heat indices getting into the lower 90s. Storm chances begin to decrease at the end of the weekend with northwest upper flow moving in as a drier, cooler air mass settles in. Next week starts off dry with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s, giving us another taste of fall in mid-August.
