Weather Update – 10:45 p.m. Monday

On average, temperatures drop to about 70°F at the coolest point of the night in mid-July. Tonight, we’ll actually get a little bit cooler than that with overnight lows in the middle and upper 60s! Skies will stay mostly clear throughout the night.

Tomorrow will be another hot day with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures are expected to reach highs in the lower to middle 90s with the mugginess making it feel like the upper 90s at the warmest point of the day.

Those temperatures will feel even hotter once the humidity really increases later on in the week. The heat index could be over 100°F on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so stay cool! Rain chances will return then as well with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible from Wednesday through Saturday. Rain could be heavy at times with some thunderstorms producing frequent lightning.
