More Record Heat - Storm Chances

Talk about a HOT day! Whew! Areas that saw plenty of sun today topped out in the upper 80's to near 90. Areas that had some more clouds and storms saw temps in the range of 80-85. More record heat (and storms) on the way. Here is your forecast.....

TONIGHT:

Humidity is sky high, so don't expect temperatures to cool much overnight, despite a clear sky. Lows will generally drop to the mid 60's by daybreak. Sounds like perfect camping weather, doesn't it?! 

TOMORROW:

 Another hot, humid day. Most areas should see plenty of sunshine, which should easily boost highs in the upper 80's to near 90 degrees. Several locations could tie or break record highs. How about storm chances? I will keep about a 10% chance of a pop up storm, but the atmosphere should stay 'capped' for much of the day, due to a high pressure ridge in the area.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Storm chances go up again beginning Friday, and lasting through early next week, as a front stalls out across the area. The SPC has already placed a slight risk for severe weather from Indianapolis and points northward for Friday....

Despite storm chances this weekend, it will by no means be a washout. Each day should feature the highest threat of storms during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will remain warm and muggy. Any storms during this time frame could contain flash flooding, dangerous lightning, and large hail. 

The active pattern looks to hang on next week, as temperatures begin to trend back to normal. 

Thanks for choosing my weather blog for your forecast, have a great rest of your evening.
