KJ’s First Warning Forecast
Summer at its finest - sunny, less humid and little to no chances of rain.
Beautiful blue skies this Thursday afternoon with near normal highs for mid-July. Near 90 today with a stray shower possible, but rain chances are slim until late Friday.
Rising heat, humidity and storm chances are the next round of changes as we approach the weekend. A three-degree bump in temperatures from today to tomorrow afternoon. However, most noticeable will be the added humidity as it begins to feel more like 100 to 105 from Friday to Sunday.
In addition, watch for scattered shower and storm chances this weekend during the afternoon and early evening hours. Meanwhile, partly cloudy along with warm mornings and steaming hot afternoons.
