Showers and Storms in the East; Dangerously Hot and Dry in the West

Scattered showers and storms are expected across portions of the Central and Eastern U.S. through the end of the week. Meanwhile, dangerous heat will intensify across the Desert Southwest and Intermountain West. Hot, dry weather and increasing winds will allow elevated wildfire conditions to return to the northern Intermountain West, where air quality issues persist from ongoing fires. Read More >

Remaining hot and humid today and through the middle of the week, but with a slight reduction in the oppressive humidity we've experienced in recent days. An isolated storm is possible this afternoon, especially along the sea breeze near the coast, but the vast majority will remain dry. Greater chances for thunderstorms will return for Monday and Tuesday.
Severe thunderstorms are possible Monday afternoon and evening. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat with any thunderstorms that develop.
Some relief is coming to the hot and humid conditions that our region has seen over the past several days. Starting today, humidity levels will be lower, though temperatures will still be slightly above normal. However, by the end of the week, temperatures will trend slightly below normal for much of the area.
