Summer sunshine continues through the remainder of the week. Only a few clouds passing in and out. For Thursday, expect highs in the upper 80s with low 90s inland.
By Friday, temperatures should be closer to 90° with humidity slowly climbing. This will cause the heat index values to be in the low to mid 90s, before the weekend could prove even hotter with highs in the mid 90s and heat indices in the 100° to 105° range! Sunday looks to be the worst day with heat index values over 105 for a few hours possible.
The heat continues into next week, with more 90s in the forecast. The overnight temperatures will only drop into the mid 70s as well, so not a huge amount of heat relief overnight.
In terms of rainfall chances, we won’t see a ton of rainfall chances the rest of the week. However, into next week, a few isolated-scattered showers and storms will be possible on Monday. Any rainfall would be welcomed, as we are almost 2″ behind in rainfall for June.
Tropical Storm Alberto formed in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday and will be inland by Thursday afternoon along the Mexican coast.
An additional weak system could develop off the SE US coast, but it’s just likely to just provide some coastal showers for Florida and Georgia. Another system could develop again in the Gulf of Mexico next week.
Hope you have a great Thursday!
