Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
After what we like to call "False Fall" last week, summer weather comes roaring back for the final week of August. That means steamy and stormy weather.
Expect plenty of heat and humidity on Tuesday, with temperatures near 90 degrees and feels-like temperatures approaching 100. Despite plenty of fuel for storms, our rain chances stay fairly low on Tuesday.
That changes on Wednesday, with scattered showers and storms possible in the afternoon and evening as a slow-moving front approaches the region.
Those storms will be fueled by lots of heat and humidity. We're looking at high temperatures in the mid 90s with heat index values approaching 105 degrees in some areas.
That front could be the focus for more showers and storms through the work week before it's replaced by another cold front, bringing more storms in time for the weekend. Stay tuned.
