Our summertime pattern is back, and that means you should get ready to sweat, as it will feel like the triple digits as the humidity increases yet again. Highs every day through the end of the week will reach at least the low 90s, but with sweltering humidity making a comeback, it will feel like 100-103° pretty much every day.

While the summertime heat is intense enough, this will also create the chance for spotty showers and storms nearly every afternoon. No day will be a washout, but gusty storms forming during the heat and humidity of the day could bring isolated heavy rain.
While a ridge of high pressure will raise our temperatures and help decrease rain chances for the start of the week, the high pressure is expected to move south by the end of the week.
This will take away the hottest weather, but also open up the overall flow of the atmosphere, allowing a more active pattern to end next week and start next week.
This means more chances for rain and possibly a slight dip in temperatures. In the meantime, it’s August, and it’s going to feel like it.
