Sunshine returns today with warm temperatures and relatively comfortable humidity, making for another pleasant summer day. Most communities will stay dry, providing a great opportunity to get outside before the weather becomes more unsettled later this week.

Beginning Wednesday afternoon, the chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms returns. While not everyone will see rain, a few storms could interrupt outdoor plans during the late afternoon and evening hours. The pattern turns warmer and more humid Thursday through the weekend, allowing for daily opportunities for pop-up showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon.

Despite the storm chances, there will be plenty of dry time each day. Temperatures climb into the upper 80s and near 90 degrees by the end of the week and heading into the weekend.
