Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast

Heat, humidity, thunderstorms. That is our summertime formula, and we will certainly feel very summer-like this week.

The Fourth of July won’t be quite as hot or quite as muggy as Monday, and that means there won’t be quite as many storms.

However, our region is under a level one storm threat for the Fourth of July. That means we could see one or two strong storms flare up.

Behind a slow-moving cold front, the intense heat and humidity will start to diminish as we head through the rest of the work week and into the weekend.

But our threat for daily thunderstorms is sticking around.

So Wednesday through Monday of next week we expect highs in the mid-to-upper 80s and lower 90s with a daily 30 to 40% chance for thunderstorms. Stay tuned.
