A significant warmup peaks Friday with heat and humidity combining for oppressive conditions — possibly the last true high heat of the season. A cold front arrives late Friday, bringing storm chances and a modest cooldown for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are seasonable, though humidity lingers and scattered showers may return late Sunday. Early next week offers a brief stretch of pleasant weather, but another warm and muggy surge arrives midweek with renewed storm chances. Long-range signals suggest the start of August could trend cooler than normal, perhaps our first real hint that summer is slowly beginning to wind down.
Friday, July 25 – Oppressive heat, storms late
One of the hottest days of the summer so far. Expect highs in the mid to upper 90s, with heat index values pushing 100°F or more. Breezy and sweltering by afternoon. A cold front approaches late, sparking scattered showers and storms — some possibly strong if they develop during peak heating.
