PM Update: Occasional showers or storms through a toasty Friday

Temperatures made the near-80 to mid-80s range for highs after struggling to warm up much of the day. Clouds and showers helped keep a cap on temperatures, except in spots where the sun popped out more prominently late in the afternoon. Rising humidity added some stickiness to the air, which only increases tonight and tomorrow. We run the risk of a few rounds of showers and storms through the next day.

Through tonight: There might be a couple showers and storms around by late evening. A better chance arrives pre-dawn, as storms to the north move this way while decaying. Lows are near or above 70. Some patchy fog may develop, especially in any areas where it rains.

Tomorrow (Friday): More showers and storms can roam near sunrise. They shouldn’t be too intense. If the timing is right, they might wake some folks up. Near or above 90 tomorrow as skies clear a bit. Muggy, too, so the heat index makes it to the mid-90s or higher. There could be a few additional late-day storms, any of which could be strong.
