While widespread severe weather is not expected every day, any thunderstorm can produce torrential rainfall, frequent lightning, and localized flooding. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are possible in some locations by the end of the week, with isolated higher amounts where storms repeatedly move over the same areas.
Temperatures will remain below the typical early August heat thanks to the clouds and frequent rain. Highs will generally stay in the lower to middle 80s through Tuesday before gradually warming into the upper 80s later in the week.
Humidity, however, will remain high, making it feel muggy whenever the sun breaks through. There will be opportunities for dry weather each day, but expect the greatest coverage of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours.
By next weekend, the weather pattern begins to look a little more typical for August. Afternoon highs should return to around 90°, with scattered, mainly afternoon thunderstorms replacing the more widespread rain expected early in the week. While the chance for rain won’t disappear, the overall pattern should become less active, allowing for more sunshine and longer dry periods heading into the second week of August.
