A heat wave is expected to impact the region, with temperatures forecasted to range from the mid-80s to mid-90s. However, high humidity levels may make it feel significantly warmer, reaching the upper 90s to low 100s during the afternoons.
Looking at the upcoming days:
Overnight, conditions will be partly cloudy with the potential for patchy fog, and the air is likely to remain sticky, with low temperatures hovering in the upper 60s to mid-70s.
On Wednesday, a heat alert is in effect due to mostly sunny skies paired with a risk of pop-up storms late in the day. Highs are expected to reach the upper 80s to low 90s, but with humidity, it may feel as hot as the low 100s.
Thursday will also see a heat alert, featuring a mix of sun and clouds along with possible showers and storms in the afternoon. High temperatures will mirror Wednesday, possibly feeling even warmer under humid conditions.
Friday’s forecast indicates continued warmth with a mix of sun and clouds, maintaining high temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s.
As the weekend approaches, Saturday brings a welcome shift, with mostly sunny skies and slightly less humidity, resulting in highs in the low to mid-80s. Sunday will see mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions with a chance of afternoon showers, and temperatures expected to remain in the mid-80s.
This weather pattern serves as a reminder to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions to cope with the heat, especially during the hottest parts of the day. There is hope for a cooldown as we transition into the weekend, providing some relief from the oppressive heat.
