Tonight & Tomorrow: Showers and storms continuing to clear out of the area this afternoon. Cloud cover and humidity will be sticking around into the evening hours. Temperatures overnight will fall into the mid-to-low 70s. Waking up Sunday morning the rainy, humid pattern is set to repeat. A shower is possible during the early morning hours but most will be fueled later in the day by daytime heating. Temperatures will get into the low-90s before showers are expected to come in and cool temperatures down. Heat index values could be nearing triple digits depending on when and where showers and cloud cover sets up. By the late afternoon hours showers will be well out of the area. Cloud cover will linger overnight and we are expected more of the same pattern for Monday.

As we go throughout the day, you chance of seeing a shower increases as temperatures heat into the mid-80s.
