- Chance of storms
- Isolated storms may be severe
| Today (Friday): Very hot and humid, still, under mainly sunny skies until afternoon clouds develop. Showers and storms may get going as we notice these clouds gathering. High temperatures get into the mid- to upper 90s with light southwest winds helping to pump in sultry dew points near 75 degrees, making it feel as hot as 105-plus degrees. One or two storms could be strong, with flooding downpours the main threat but isolated damaging winds also possible. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: We'll need to keep an eye on radar because a few storms may be slow to die down. Patchy flooding is possible into early evening. It will stay muggy and moist, halting low temperatures in the low to mid-70s. We're mostly cloudy overall, but it should turn clearer near dawn if you're up early to watch the Perseids. Confidence: Medium-High Follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest updates. Keep reading for the forecast into next week… Tomorrow (Saturday): What's left of the cold front continues to move into and through our area, helping reduce high temperatures to the upper 80s to low 90s. It should also set off showers and storms. Skies are partly sunny, with morning hours being the brightest and driest. Exact timing and amounts of the rain reduce our forecast confidence but we could see a few strong storms with the potential for localized flooding downpours. Dew points may dip late day back into the slightly more comfortable 60s. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: As thunderstorm and shower chances diminish into the late evening, we generally remain mostly cloudy. Low temperatures bottom out in the mid-60s to about 70 degrees. Confidence: Medium A look ahead Sunday: We should start to notice the weather improving with lower humidity (dew points in the 50s) and high temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. Clouds and perhaps a few showers are around. Stay tuned because they could hold back our temperatures more than currently expected — but it is still comfortable. Confidence: Low-Medium Sunday night: An evening shower remains possible, especially south of town where the cold front has turned into a stationary front — stalling out. Skies are cloudier than not. Low temperatures bottom out in the low to mid-60s. Confidence: Medium Tropical remnant rains are possible from Fred and a feed of moisture ahead of it Monday and Tuesday. We'll need to keep an eye on potential flooding. Periodic sunshine will only percolate the unstable, moisture-laden atmosphere more, and downpours may follow any sun. Somewhat muggy high temperatures remain muted in the upper 70s to low 80s. Confidence: Low-Medium Read more about Capital Weather Gang's confidence rating. |
