MONDAY: FLOOD WATCH 4PM TO MIDNIGHT
Mostly Cloudy
Scattered Showers & Storms
Highs: 85-90
Winds: Northeast 5-10 mph
Unsettled weather kicks off the first full week of July with clouds and storm chances. The extreme heat is over, but it will still be seasonably hot with highs around 90-degrees this afternoon. Humidity levels will remain very high with dewpoint temperatures in the lower to middle 70s. Rain and storms are likely to develop during the afternoon and evening hours, so have the umbrella ready to go later today. Some storms could be on the strong side capable of producing damaging winds and very heavy rain that could continue through the flash flooding threat.

MONDAY NIGHT:
Evening Storms Possible
Cloudy Overnight
Lows: 68-75
Winds: Northeast 5 mph
Thunderstorm chances will continue through 9 p.m. with rain chances decreasing by, or shortly after, midnight. It will remain cloudy and humid overnight with low temperatures falling into the upper 60s in the suburbs to middle 70s downtown. Areas of patchy fog may develop, so watch for reduced visibility. Pavement will remain damp, so be mindful of slick surfaces.

TUESDAY:
Mostly Cloudy
Chance Showers, Storms
Highs: 82-85
Winds: Northeast 5-10 mph
The active weather pattern rolls on with clouds, high humidity, and rain/storm chances. Afternoon high temperatures will be cooler-than-average with highs in the 80s. Showers and storms will likely develop at some point throughout the day, but there will also be a lot of dry time for your outdoor activities. Humidity levels will remain high, so the stickiness factor will be in play. With the high humidity, any storms that develop could contain heavy rainfall that could lead to isolated flash flooding.

WEDNESDAY:
Partly Sunny
Chance for Storms
Highs: 82-85
Winds: Northeast 5-10 mph
The rinse and repeat weather pattern rolls on with high humidity, more clouds than sun and chances for showers and storms at any point throughout the day. There is a slightly lower chance for rain midweek, so that may bode better for your outdoor plans. With the continued high humidity and chance for slow-moving storms, isolated instances of flash flooding will be possible.
