Still, expect a mostly dry day, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s with little heat index factor.
TONIGHT: Skies will clear this evening, before some high clouds move in by early Thursday. Temperatures drop into the 60s.

Still, skies should remain partly cloudy, and allow temperatures to climb back into the upper 80s. By Friday morning, we'll be watching some activity moving in out of Nebraska and Kansas. This activity may bring some showers and storms through the first half of Friday. In the meantime, humidity is surging up again, making 90s feel closer to low triple digits. By Saturday, Temperatures climb into the upper 90s, but we continue to feel like triple digits.
