We started a stormy weather pattern yesterday and it continues today. Scattered thunderstorms will develop between noon-2 p.m. The highest chance of storms will be from 2 p.m.-7 p.m. The main threat will be numerous cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, but some could also contain strong wind gusts and minor flooding. Ahead of any rain, expect high temperatures to reach the low 90s with a heat index up to 105°.

The pattern is on repeat for tomorrow and the holiday weekend. Expect midday heat and humidity followed by spotty thunderstorms. They will be focused on the afternoon, so I’m hopeful that by fireworks time we will have plenty of dry weather.
