Isolated Showers and Storms Into Tonight

Widespread Rain Sunday and Monday

Heat and Humidity Build Next Week

Isolated showers and storms are expected this afternoon into tonight. Any storms that develop will be slow moving and have heavy rain, which will lead to locally heavy rainfall. Isolated damaging winds are not out of the question with any storms south of I-80.

Abundant moisture will support widespread rainfall Sunday and Monday. While there is uncertainty in where the greatest rainfall will be, there is high confidence that much of the area will see much needed rain. Areas that see repeated rounds of showers and storms, as well as those that have received heavy rainfall over the last several days, are at risk for flash flooding.

A stretch of very hot and humid conditions is likely Tuesday through Friday of next week. Heat index readings could be well over 100 degrees, especially Wednesday and Thursday! There will also be a chance for storms later in the week that will bring some uncertainty in the temperature forecast, so stay tuned for updates regarding this potential period of very hot weather next week.
