This afternoon's temperature is expected to top ninety degrees making it the 19th time this summer we have seen temperatures at or above 90°. In addition, the humidity will be quite high making it feel like it's close to 100°.
A disturbance traveling along an approaching cold front will bring us some thunderstorms tonight and there is the possibilty of some localized flooding. The good news is that the weather has been pretty dry the last several weeks with only 1.32" of rain this month which is not even half of what we normally see by this date. The ground should be able to absorb a lot of the rain that falls but with several inches possible flooding is still a possibility.
Things should settle down by tomorrow afternoon and Sunday looks sensational. After a warm weekend the weather will turn hotter again early next week before we see a nice cooling trend beginning Wednesday.
