.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures will be closer to normal through Friday, although
heat index values will still rise above 100 degrees each
afternoon. Moisture remains relatively high, so despite the
high temps, RH`s should generally remain above critical
thresholds. Shower and storm chances will continue to bring scattered to
numerous coverage each day, even through the weekend. A notable
front with stronger winds and cooler temps is likely late this
week and for this upcoming weekend.
Fog potential tonight: Patchy late night/early morning fog
possible, especially near bodies of water.
