First Alert Weather: Another hot day and looking ahead to more storms

Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect for the forecast:

  • This morning is dry and warm with temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
  • Today will be another hot one with highs in the middle 90s and feels-like temperatures 105+ across the region.
  • An isolated to widely scattered storm is possible late this afternoon and evening, but there will be a lot of dry time today.
  • Hazards in any late-day storms will be frequent lightning, heavy rain, and gusty winds.
  • The next few days will be very hot with afternoon highs close to records.
  • We also will transition to a stormier pattern in the afternoons, so there should be more heat relief from periods of heavy rain and clouds.
  • Many spots look to see several inches of rain over the next week.
  • We’ll be watching hot temperatures and some thunderstorms around for the Jags pre-season game Friday.
