Happy Monday! It’s a soupy one out there - dew points are high (in the 70s) and temps will rise from near 80 this morning to 90 by noon. 

A backdoor cold front racing south down Lake Michigan will bring a high likelihood of thunderstorms just after noon. Accompanying these storms will be a strong, cooler, wind, which will knock temps back into the 70s by sunset. Storms are likely through sunset. 

Tomorrow will be a lovely day with lower humidity, sunnier skies, and “cooler” temps. The remainder of the week should feature highs in the 80s under mostly sunny skies. 

The heat isn’t done with us, yet, though. I see several more waves of searing, hot weather ahead as we chug our way into August. 

Long range models predict a brutally hot August, overall, and, looking even further into the future - El Nino promises to delay the start of winter… indefinitely. 

Tl;dr - heat and humidity wane after noon. T-storms likely noon-nightfall. Beautiful tomorrow - Friday (sun, 80s).
