Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
We’ve got good news and bad news from the weather department.
The good news: the milder, less humid air we enjoyed on Saturday will be sticking around for your Sunday.
The bad news: summer will return with a vengeance later this week. As a matter of fact, this will likely be our hottest week of summer so far.
High pressure will dominate our weather through most of your Sunday. That means we will enjoy plenty of sunshine and fairly comfortable humidity levels. Most of us will top out in the mid-to-upper 80s, which is a few degrees warmer than Saturday.
Late this afternoon, we will see some clouds starting to build in ahead of our next weather maker.
An area of low pressure we all move in from the south bringing us scattered showers and thunderstorms for your Monday.
The timing of the rain is still a question mark, but it does look like most of the wet weather will move in during the morning hours.
The rain will help keep our temperatures down once again, with highs in the mid-80s to kick off the work week.
But after that, it is up up and away! We expect to climb into the upper 80s on Tuesday, the lower 90s on Wednesday and into the mid to upper 90s Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
On top of that, we expect plenty of humidity, meaning it will feel even hotter. It looks like we will be pushing toward 110° with our heat index on Friday and again on Saturday. Stay cool.
