Detailed forecast
This ridiculous heat will continue for another day today, but maybe not as much as the past few days, but it will remain bearably warm for July tomorrow through the weekend. The cold front signaling the end of this historic heat wave will probably produce scattered strong to severe storms this afternoon and evening. There will be a low chance of rain Thursday and Friday, with more uncertainty over the weekend.
Today (Wednesday): There will be plenty of sunshine in the morning, but increasing clouds and developing storms in the afternoon will keep high temperatures cooler than the past few days. Most locations will see temperatures reach the mid to near 100s Fahrenheit, with heat indices near or above 105 as humidity remains high. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon and evening as the cold front approaches. Strong to heavy rain with strong winds and flooding is also possible. Reliability: Moderate to High
tonight: A chance of showers and storms remains possible overnight, but becomes less likely overnight. Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with lows in the lower to mid 70s F. Reliability: Moderate
