For the start of the week, the sky is staying mostly cooperative—at least for now.
Today is expected to bring mostly sunny skies across the area, with temperatures hovering in the low-80s. Winds are relatively light, averaging between 5 and 15 mph, with occasional gusts up to 20 mph possible on Tuesday.
Tuesday stays just as calm at first. Skies turn partly cloudy, and temperatures again hover in the low-80s. Tuesday night shifts toward more cloud cover, becoming mostly cloudy heading into Wednesday morning. Overnight, conditions cool down too, with temperatures dropping into the upper-50s by Tuesday morning and by Wednesday morning.
By Wednesday, the warmth is back—mostly cloudy but warm, with temperatures topping out in the low-80s. Winds become breezier, hovering between 15 and 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph possible.
Then the forecast changes its tone after midnight.
Showers and thunderstorms are projected to move into the area after midnight as temperatures start dropping into the mid-60s by Thursday morning. From there, the workweek’s “pause” turns into a stretch of unsettled weather. Scattered shower and thunderstorm chances are expected throughout Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The rain doesn’t cool things off for long. Even with cloudy skies and those recurring storm chances. temperatures remain warm—topping out in the low-80s on Thursday and climbing into the mid-80s for Friday and Saturday. Winds during the three days hover between 5 and 15 mph, with occasional gusts up to 20 mph possible at times. Nights also stay mild. with overnight temperatures dropping into the mid-60s by the following mornings as showers and thunderstorms continue on and off.
By Saturday afternoon, the rain chances are projected to wrap up, though isolated chances may linger into Sunday.
Once the storms taper off, humidity moves back in fast.
That’s the part many people will feel immediately: humidity ramping up across the area along with temperatures. Hot and humid conditions are expected to return. with heat index values likely well into the 90s for nearly all of next week. The forecast also urges basic heat safety—staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water. taking breaks from the heat and sun by cooling off in air conditioned buildings. and remembering that swimming—whether in a pool or at the beach—does not count as staying hydrated or fully taking a break. because you’re still in the hot and humid conditions.
Sunday then settles into a mix: partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering in the upper-80s. With the humidity in the mix. it’s expected to feel more like the low to mid-90s across the area. Winds bring a pleasant but warm breeze from the southeast between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph possible. Sunday night remains partly cloudy as temperatures drop into the upper-60s by Monday morning.
Monday largely repeats Sunday—partly cloudy skies. highs in the upper-80s. and heat index values likely in the low to mid-90s. Winds stay from the southeast between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts up to 20 mph at times possible. By Monday night. skies gradually become mostly clear as temperatures fall into the upper-60s and low-70s by Tuesday morning.
Tuesday and Wednesday are already flagged as the hottest days of next week so far. Highs are forecast in the upper-80s and low-90s. with heat index values likely in the mid. possibly upper-90s across the area. Winds remain light from the south and southeast between 5 and 15 mph. Overnight. conditions are expected to stay mostly clear and quiet. with temperatures dropping into the low-70s by the following mornings.
