A bit of a weather rollercoaster sets up across the area this week. After a day of local heavy downpours on Thursday, a slow-moving front lingers nearby. Conditions gradually improve by the weekend, with dry weather, brightening skies, and seasonable warmth. Then, from Monday through midweek, summer arrives in full force. A southwest flow brings rising temperatures and muggy air, with highs soaring into the upper 80s and low 90s. A few scattered afternoon thunderstorms are possible, but most days will be dominated by heat, humidity, and hazy sunshine.
Friday, July 11 – Slow clearing, slightly warmer
Morning clouds and fog will give way to partial sunshine, especially inland. A welcome step toward more pleasant summer weather, with comfortable temps and only modest humidity.
• High: 80 to 82°F | Low: 65 to 67°F | Wind: ESE at 4 to 6 mph
• Sky: Mostly cloudy early, turning partly sunny
• Chance of rain: 10%
• Dew point: 62 to 66°F
Saturday, July 12 – Fog early, then classic summer
Morning fog gives way to a mix of sun and clouds by midday. High pressure keeps conditions dry, with temps in the low 80s and manageable humidity.
• High: 82 to 84°F | Low: 65 to 67°F | Wind: East at 5 to 7 mph
• Sky: Fog early, then partly sunny
• Chance of rain: 10%
• Dew point: 62 to 66°F
Sunday, July 13 – Warmer and more humid
South winds return, sending temperatures upward and pushing humidity back into the “muggy” zone. Sun, haze, and a few high clouds dominate the sky. A pop-up inland storm is possible, but most areas stay dry.
• High: 85 to 87°F | Low: 66 to 68°F | Wind: South at 6 to 9 mph
• Sky: Partly sunny and hazy
• Chance of rain: 15%
• Dew point: 66 to 70°F
Monday, July 14 – Hot and humid with a storm chance
Southwest winds bring a noticeable jump in heat and humidity. Highs rise into the upper 80s, and a weak disturbance may trigger a few scattered afternoon thunderstorms — mainly inland. While no organized severe threat is expected, some uncertainty remains.
• High: 86 to 88°F | Low: 69 to 71°F | Wind: SW at 5 to 8 mph
• Sky: Mostly sunny early, becoming hazy and partly cloudy late
• Chance of rain: 20% (mainly mid to late afternoon)
• Dew point: 68 to 72°F
Tuesday, July 15 – Very hot and sticky
The heat ramps up further as southwest flow continues. Forecast guidance shows a 40-50% chance of temperatures exceeding 90°F, with oppressive humidity making it feel even hotter. A stray afternoon thunderstorm is possible, but most areas stay dry.
• High: 89 to 92°F | Low: 70 to 72°F | Wind: WSW at 4 to 7 mph
• Sky: Partly sunny with haze and afternoon cumulus
• Chance of rain: 20%
• Dew point: 70 to 74°F
Wednesday, July 16 – More heat, more haze
The hot and humid pattern holds strong. Temperatures again flirt with 90°F, and the chance of a spot thunderstorm returns during peak heating. While wind shear remains weak, a pulse storm or two can’t be ruled out.
• High: 88 to 90°F | Low: 70 to 72°F | Wind: West at 5 to 8 mph
• Sky: Hazy sun with developing clouds in the afternoon
• Chance of rain: 25%
• Dew point: 70 to 73°F
Thursday, July 17 – Slight break from the heat
A weak frontal boundary may slide through, offering some modest relief. Humidity drops just a bit, and highs settle back into the mid-80s. Still summery, but slightly less oppressive.
• High: 84 to 87°F | Low: 68 to 70°F | Wind: NNW at 5 to 7 mph
• Sky: Partly sunny
• Chance of rain: 15%
• Dew point: 64 to 68°F
Friday, July 18 – Seasonable and dry
A beautiful summer day to close the week. Sunshine, average temps, and more comfortable humidity levels make it a great day to be outside.
• High: 84 to 86°F | Low: 66 to 68°F | Wind: North at 4 to 6 mph
• Sky: Mostly sunny
• Chance of rain: 5%
• Dew point: 60 to 64°F
