Sunday’s forecast: Back to the heat

/ July 29, 2023 at 8:03 PM

The brief interlude away from the mid-90s air temperatures that have punctuated a fair bit of July will end Sunday as a tropical low and its associated showers and thunderstorms moves away. We’ll start the day in the mid-70s before highs top out in the mid-90s in the afternoon; mix in humidity and we should see heat indices around 105-106° around peak heating.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms should fire later in the afternoon into the evening hours and head coastward within northwest flow. A storm or two could get strong enough to produce a damaging wind gust or two, so we’ll want to watch that potential closely. Not everyone will see rain and storms, but if you do, be ready to move outdoor activities inside.
