FORECAST:

• The unsettled pattern we saw over the weekend will remain throughout this week with scattered shower and storm chances.
• There are already a few showers out there Monday morning and we’ll see more later in the afternoon and likely well into the evening.
• Heavy rain and lightning are the main threats, but some gusty storms can’t be ruled out late day.
• Highs warm to near 80 degrees, but it feels warmer thanks to the increased humidity.

• More heat is coming our way (along with that humidity) by midweek.
• Highs will be near 90 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday. This may lead to a few isolated strong to severe storms. A greater severe risk could be coming our way on Thursday as the next cold front arrives to bring relief this weekend.
• Friday and Saturday both look great as of right now as temps cool back to the 70s.
• Very low risk for rain comes in late Sunday.
