Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
If this is July, count me in! Most of us didn't make it out of the 70s on the first day of the month. But soon enough, reality will set in. And that means the return of intense heat, humidity and storms.
But Tuesday will be another amazing day. While it will be slightly warmer and slightly more humid than Monday, we'll still enjoy some really comfortable, dry weather. Most of us will top out in the lower 80s. Our normal high is close to 90 degrees.
Wednesday will be our transition day, as winds start to shift more to the south, sending temperatures and humidity levels higher.
Independence Day on Thursday will be a steamy one, with feels-like temperatures close to 100 degrees. With all that heat and humidity, a pop-up storm is not out of the question, but not likely.
Our storm chances go up on Friday and into the weekend as a strong cold front approaches the region. It looks like that front will take its time moving through, meaning we'll have a chance for storms into at least early next week and heat and humidity will stay pretty intense. Heat index values this weekend will be between 105 and 110!
