I'm Walken...

Much of the same story today as heat and humidity rule our weather picture.  The main differences will be the cloud cover situation.  Yesterday we had a lot of haze and low-level clouds.  This actually helped keep us relatively cool.  Today, those clouds will go away leaving us at the mercy of Mr. Sunshine.  This will not only raise our temperatures but will also give us a better chance for some afternoon convection.  Any storms that pop up should be short-lived and will probably die out by the late-evening hours.

Tomorrow relief is on the way in the form of a cold front.  The Bermudan High that's been funneling hot, humid air into our region will push out to sea late tomorrow and the front should sweep down from our north and usher in some cooler, more temperate weather.  More seasonable conditions will persist for Thurs and Fri as another high pressure system takes control.  Luckily, this one will be more continental in origin than tropical.  However, it should not be confused with Christopher Walken's SNL character, The Continental, which would be very hot and steamy by comparison.  

Today:  Sunny and warm.  Strong winds with a chance of an afternoon shower or t-storm.  High 88.  Winds SW @ 10-15 mph.
Tonight:  Chance for early evening shower/t-storm.  Then clearing.  Low 76.  Winds SW @ 8-10 mph.
Tomorrow:  Sunny early then likely afternoon t-storms.  High 89.
