The heat intensifies a bit today but relief is less than 24 hours away.
While we’ll bask under a sun-drenched sky during the day, as the afternoon gets closer to the evening hours, the chance of showers and thunderstorms increases.
By nighttime, we’re looking at a 90% chance of storms, some of which can be severe.
Then, tomorrow, we’ll get another break from the heat with much more comfortable weather for a few days.
