Heat and humidity building again… Highs will warm to the upper 80s today, about 5 degrees above normal for this time of year. It will feel more like the low 90s this afternoon with the increasing humidity. We will see a nice mix of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies today and rain chances will remain slim.

Strong to severe storms are possible Thursday. Warm and muggy conditions will continue with highs in the mid 80s. Another round of scattered showers and storms will move through Saturday to Sunday.
