Still feeling like summer through Tuesday! Isolated to scattered storms could develop Sunday afternoon and evening with a low chance for any severe storms. A cold front moves through late Tuesday, bringing some heat relief and additional chances for showers and storms.
While summer temperatures aren't giving up any time soon, we can at least look back on the meteorological summer months of June, July, and August. June and July were wet with near average temperatures. August though was warm and very dry (4th driest August on record), tipping the values for the entire summer to slightly warmer and drier than average.
