Overview
- This weekend the weather flipped from a dry stretch to generally muggy conditions with spotty to scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms.
- Storm placement will vary by neighborhood because diurnal heating drives convective cells and many communities will still see long dry breaks between storms.
- The Storm Prediction Center and local offices highlighted marginal to slight severe risk in pockets where storms could produce gusty winds, small hail, and heavy downpours.
- A southward cold front is forecast to bring a brief drop in humidity early next week, then a building ridge will push temperatures into the 90s with heat-index values near or above 100°F midweek.
- Forecasters are watching tropical and Gulf moisture that could increase late-week rain coverage and flash-flood risk in isolated spots, but model disagreement makes late-week outcomes uncertain.
