Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
The end is in sight! Our stretch of dangerously hot and muggy weather will be coming to an end, replaced by below-normal temperatures and above-normal rainfall.
Tuesday will likely be our hottest feeling day of the week. Expect intense sunshine that will send our temperatures climbing into the upper 90s and feels-like temperatures to 110° or higher.
Wednesday will start off with more intense heat before a powerful cold front approaches the region in the afternoon. It will spark scattered showers and storms. And it looks like that front will stick around for awhile.
We expect areas of low pressure to develop along that front and enhance our chances for storms through the rest of the week and even into next week.
Heavy downpours could cause more localized flooding, especially on Thursday afternoon.
The silver lining for the days of rain: a major drop in temperatures. In fact, we're expecting below-normal temparures for five of the next seven days. Stay tuned.
