The heat will finally break today!... a little bit anyways. Temps will once again warm into the 90s across much of the city but a lake breeze will help keep the immediate shoreline cooler. This breeze will then combine with an incoming line of t-storms to lower temps across the city this afternoon. T-storms are likely beginning this afternoon and continuing through tomorrow. Temps will fall into the 70s tonight and rise no further than the 80s tomorrow 🙂

Looking ahead, however, there are indications that the heat dome will rebuild this weekend which means more 90s and oppressive heat. The main complication with this forecast will be the chance of storms each day through next week. Storms that sweep through “at the right time” have a big impact on the daily high temp (they limit daytime heating). But the humidity and overheated air mass will ensure that even if daytime temps dont make it into the 90s, nighttime temps will remain quite elevated and rarely dip below 75 through the next 10 days 😭.

There are some indications that true relief may come after the 4th of July, but stay tuned because that could change.

Hot, then t-storms. Heat breaking this afternoon. High 92F today, 82F tomorrow, 90s again this wknd. Storms psbl through next week.
