Tracking daily chances for afternoon storms, hot temperatures all week
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy with an isolated storm possible through sunset. Lows in the lower 60s.
TOMORROW: Mostly sunny with isolated to scattered showers and storms through early evening. Some could contain heavy rain. Highs in the upper 80s.
EXTENDED: The summerlike pattern that has settled in will stick around for much of this week as temperatures reach near 90 degrees each afternoon with lows in the mid-60s. We'll see daily storm chances as our upper level pattern brings in southwesterly winds aloft, increasing moisture across the region. We'll feel more humid with heat indices in the low to mid-90s, especially later into the week and weekend. Storm chances will be driven by daytime heating, meaning coverage should likely diminish by around sunset each day. Severe weather is not expected due to a lack of wind shear, but downpours could be heavy with storms that do develop, producing up to an inch of rain in localized areas. The pattern holds through the weekend into early next week before low pressure develops over the Great Lakes and cools things down by the end of next week.
