First Alert Summary

We have a 20% chance of showers and storms this afternoon. The storm prediction has us under a marginal (level 1) risk, which is the lowest risk for severe weather. Highs are in the low 90s with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. A weak cold front is approaching from the northwest which will kick off our isolated showers and storms.

Tuesday we are down to 62 and highs reach the upper 80s. The front has passed through and drier air comes in from the northwest and this leaves us with sunny skies.

The humidity bumps up a little Wednesday as southwest flow returns. This brings partly cloudy skies and high temps reaching the low 90s once again.

The southwest flow continues Thursday and that warms us up even more! highs reach the upper 90s with partly cloudy skies. Lows are in the upper 60s.

Friday we have lows in the low 70s and highs reach the upper 90s. A nice ridge of high pressure sits to our east and funnels in that warm air.
