    Surface high pressure brings sunshine & some needed relief from the oppressive humidity. A weak cold front will bring increasing cloud cover, showers and a few isolated thunderstorms this afternoon/evening. Isolated thunderstorm activity will likely be limited to our northern zones before clearing around sunset. More fog is forecast tonight, with lows around 60.

    Forecast will stay dry with plenty of sunshine Wednesday and Thursday. More heat & humidity will infiltrate our area by Thursday. Dew points will climb back into the upper 60s. In many places heat indices will come very close to 100. Heat advisories will likely return to the mountain state Thursday and Friday.

    Another cool wave will bring better chance for showers and storms late Friday into the weekend. Heat indices will stay in the mid/upper 90s over the weekend. We'll keep a good chance for showers and storms Saturday. A few light showers may also linger into Sunday. Things dry our for Monday. High temps will stay in the upper 80/low 90s for the first part of next week.

Radar looks good. Expecting thicker cloud cover & a few iso storms later today
