Summer is returning. Heat, humidity, and near-daily afternoon pop-up storms will be mainstays moving forward.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Any afternoon pop-up showers will shut down quickly into the evening. Skies will become clear, and overnight lows will dip into the upper 60s. Tuesday will be plenty warm with a high in the low 90s. There will be humidity to feel, but a southeast breeze should take the edge off the mugginess during the afternoon. Despite a muggy feel at ground level, the atmosphere as a whole will be fairly dry. That should keep rain away on Tuesday.

Up Next: An upper-level ridge will spread across the region through the rest of the week, ushering in a pattern typical of summer. Each day will bring highs above 90°, possibly reaching the mid 90s on a few occasions. Days and nights will be humid. One indicator of the increasing humidity will be rising overnight lows, only dipping into the 70s. Garden-variety pop-up thunderstorms will be possible each day. The ridge will generally keep storms spotty in coverage. An exception will be made for Wednesday as a weak disturbance slides through. But even then, expect only a minor uptick in showers. The ridge will back off early next week, opening the door for a more substantial round(s) of afternoon storms.
