Drier air has moved into the area with a bit of Saharan dust. You’ll notice the extra haze on the horizon in the coming days. This will work to limit our rain chances today through Friday. It will not be completely dry, but only isolated thunderstorms will manage to punch through the drier air. Rain chances will be no more than 20-30%.

Temperatures take over as the big weather story. Highs will be in the middle 90s, which is record territory. Factor in the high humidity and it will feel more like 105°-110°. That level of heat index has triggered a Heat Advisory today and we will likely have one for the rest of the work week. More typical rainy season thunderstorms will return over the weekend, which will bring our temperatures down a few degrees.
