What will the weather look like for the remainder of the week?

Looking ahead:

The chances of rain will be on the increase by the end of the work week. An influx of tropical moisture plus a front draped across the region will keep us at around 70%, even into the weekend. 

The best chances for storms will be during the afternoon and evening hours of each day. An isolated strong storm or two can't be ruled out, with gusty winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning being the main threats.

 Temperatures will be closer to normal for highs, topping out in the low 90s by the end of the week.

Tropical Weather Outlook:

Forecasters are still monitoring the development of a low-pressure system in the Atlantic, which could influence rain coverage heading into the weekend. 

The strength and position of that system—and the ridge building back in early next week—could impact how widespread or intense storms become. It’s also unclear whether any of these storms will reach severe levels.
