The week ahead will feature very summer-like weather. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be dictated first by heat and humidity, and second by subtle disturbances in the atmosphere that move over the local area.

Tonight & Tomorrow: A few showers and thunderstorms may longer through 10pm before things trend quieter later tonight into the morning. It will remain muggy with low temperatures in the low 70s. On Tuesday, a mix of sun and clouds early will allow high temperatures until the upper 80s. From late morning through afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to breakout, especially as a weak ripple in the steering winds aloft aggravates the atmosphere.

Up Next: Wednesday through Friday, the upper level steering winds will be a little less active over the local area. As a result, showers and thunderstorms will solely rely on daytime warming for development, making them a bit easier to time. Any given day, activity will flare up across 30-50% of the forecast area. Storms could produce downpours, frequent lighting and gusty wind. Temperatures will be a bit above average with lows in the low 70s and highs in the upper 80s.
