Tuesday PM Forecast: humidity creeps up, rain chances stay down
Temperatures remain hot and well above average. Humidity will slowly increase through the week but that will not make it much easier for any showers and thunderstorms to develop.
Tonight & Tomorrow: Mainly clear skies are expected overnight. Low temperatures will settle near average in the mid 70s. A lot of sunshine will be around on Wednesday. High temperatures will climb above average into the upper 90s. Comparatively, it will be a bit more humid than Tuesday and that is a trend that will continue each day this week.
Up Next: Thursday and Friday, humidity will increase across the area. This return of moisture may be just enough to support a rogue shower or two during the peak heating hours of the afternoon. The atmosphere will still be dry though, so widespread precipitation is not anticipated. By the weekend, the summertime air mass will be firmly back in place. With lows in the upper 70s and highs in the upper 90s, heat alerts may be needed once again for feels-like temperatures in the 105 to 110 range. Through the entirety of the 7-Day Forecast, daily rain coverage should not exceed 20 percent on any given day.
