Expect Afternoon Showers and Muggy Weather: Updated Forecast

The heat is on, but relief – in the form of scattered showers – might be on its way. Today's updated weather forecast predicts a continuation of the muggy conditions we've been experiencing, with a significant chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms developing across the region. Get ready for a potentially soggy commute home!

High Humidity and Sticky Temperatures

Temperatures will climb into the low to mid-80s (°F) this afternoon, feeling significantly hotter due to the high humidity. The combination of heat and moisture will create uncomfortable conditions for many. Remember to stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor activities during the peak heat hours (typically between 11 am and 4 pm).

Afternoon Thunderstorms: Timing and Impacts

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts the highest chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2 pm and 8 pm. These storms could be locally heavy, bringing brief periods of intense rainfall, gusty winds, and even the possibility of small hail in some areas. While widespread flooding is not anticipated, localized street flooding is possible in areas with poor drainage.

What to Expect:

• Afternoon Showers: Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily in the afternoon and early evening.
• High Humidity: Prepare for muggy conditions throughout the day.
• Possible Localized Flooding: Be aware of the potential for brief periods of heavy rainfall leading to localized street flooding.
• Gusty Winds: Thunderstorms could produce gusty winds.
• Slight Chance of Hail: A small chance of hail exists in some areas during the more intense thunderstorms.

Staying Safe During Thunderstorms:

Remember to take precautions during thunderstorms:

• Seek shelter indoors: If you hear thunder, immediately seek shelter in a sturdy building or vehicle.
• Avoid water: Stay away from bodies of water and flooded areas during thunderstorms.
• Unplug electronics: Protect your electronics from power surges.
• Monitor the forecast: Keep an eye on the updated weather forecast for any changes.

Looking Ahead:

While today's forecast calls for afternoon showers, the overall humidity is expected to remain high for the next few days.
