Despite the calendar saying it’s almost mid-August (!!), the heat is BACK ON today. Hot air will bubble up from the south, as promised, sending the thermometer back into the 90s this afternoon. Skies will be mostly sunny, but a batch of unstable air may generate some thunderstorms over the area this evening and overnight tonight.

They won’t do much to blunt the heat however. Once the storms clear by mid/late morning tomorrow, temps will shoot right back up to around 90. Dew points will generally be in the 60s for the next two days. While this isn’t oppressively humid, it’s also not desert-dry.

The real heat and humidity will likely arrive on Saturday with dews in the 70s and temps in the 90s 🥵.

There is a chance that some storms may attempt to break the heat on Sunday but TBD. 

Tl;dr - heat wave INCOMING. 90s today, storms overnight tonight. 90s tomorrow. Hot, humid this weekend.

A NOTE: My laptop screen decided to stop working yesterday. Boooooo. I’ll need to take it to get fixed today and that could mean it’s out of commission for a few days, aka I might not be able to send the text. If that happens, the texts will ALL still be written and archived here (if that’s helpful!): The Weather Text: Historical Texts - Google Docs
