Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
More heat, humidity, and storms… Today will be the hottest day of the week. Highs will warm to the low and mid 90s this afternoon. Heat index values will reach the upper 90s to near 100 for some spots. Expect partly cloudy skies through the day with scattered showers and storms popping up this afternoon to evening. Strong to severe storms are possible with heavy downpours and gusty winds.
Highs will drop to the upper 80s tomorrow and to the mid 80s on Thursday. It will still be muggy so it will feel like the low 90s each afternoon. We will see a mix of clouds both days with afternoon scattered showers and storms.
Expect more sunshine and lower rain chances for Friday and this weekend. Highs will climb back to the 90s and humidity will build, especially for Sunday.

Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Evening Showers/Storms. Lows in the mid 70s. Winds: SW 5-15
