Our first heatwave is revving up heading toward Independence Day.

South winds are still increasing our humidity somewhat, which isn’t great news since it was high to begin with. Sunshine gets clouds percolating by the midday, with storms increasingly likely in the afternoon. The main deal for Sunday may be west of the Appalachians until late, so we’ll have to see how this forecast evolves. High temperatures are upper 80s to lower 90s. Confidence: MediumShowers and storms are possible in the evening, through about midnight for now.

This is all subject to what happens Sunday to a degree, but a cold front should also be moving into the region, which ups the odds of scattered activity in itself. Any late-day storms could be strong to severe. Afternoon readings rise to near and above 90. Confidence: Medium. That doesn’t mean it’s any cooler, but it might mean lower humidity and smaller chances of rain. We’ll be watching for another smoke incursion, more likely in the Great Lakes, somewhere around here as well.
