Forecast in detail Today is an unwelcome encore performance of yesterday with high heat and humidity, and only the chance of an isolated cooling shower or storm. We're somewhat cooler tomorrow before rain from Elsa likely moves through during the afternoon and evening. Then it's a fairly typical summer stretch Friday through Sunday with highs near normal and a few storms possible. Today (Wednesday): Pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday. We're warm and muggy from the start, with morning temperatures rising into and through the 80s to near 90. Afternoon highs once again reach the mid-90s under mostly sunny skies, with the heat index topping out near 100 to the low 100s. Could see an isolated shower or thunderstorm late afternoon into early evening. Winds are light from the south. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Another stifling evening as temperatures fall back through the 90s into the 80s, with that chance of an isolated shower or storm. Otherwise we're partly cloudy, warm and muggy overnight with lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium-High Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest weather updates.
