Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast

A hot, humid, and unsettled week… Temperatures will warm to near 90 again today. With the humidity, it will feel more like the mid 90s. We will see a mix of clouds today with scattered showers and storms firing up this afternoon.

The trend will continue for the next several days. Highs will return to the upper 80s tomorrow with an afternoon heat index in the mid 90s. We will see partly to mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and storms possible, mainly in the afternoon to evening.

Cooler and less humid air will move in for the weekend. Highs will drop to the upper 70s and low 80s. We could still see a scattered shower or storm on Saturday, but rain chance will drop for Sunday.
