Humidity begins building today as warmer, muggier air returns to the area. While much of the day will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds, it will feel noticeably more humid by the afternoon. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible late tonight, but most communities stay dry.
The hottest weather arrives Thursday and Friday. Afternoon highs will climb to around 90 degrees, and the humidity will push heat index values into the upper 90s and lower 100s. Scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms are possible both days, with Friday carrying the greater chance for more widespread storms.
Humidity eases a bit this weekend as temperatures cool back into the 80s. A spotty shower remains possible Saturday before sunshine and hotter weather return Sunday into early next week.
