An upper-level disturbance will gradually move from east to west across the area through Tuesday providing decent chances for mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms. The storms may produce some brief torrential downpours, gusty winds, along with frequent lightning. By the middle to latter part of the week, an upper-level ridge will begin to build in reducing rain chances for a majority of the area and likely increasing the heat and humidity. Max afternoon heat index reading at the end of the week into the weekend will be around 105 degrees.
