Another break from the heat is in the offing this week as cooler high pressure works its way into the area. We’ll really start to feel it beginning mid-week, and it should last well into the weekend.

One front gets by early Monday, stalling out nearby. This should cut down on coverage of afternoon storms, at least, but a couple storms can’t be ruled out as highs head to the low-to-mid-90s. The cooling trend begins on Tuesday as highs top out around 90°, and will continue for the rest of the week as highs fall into the mid-80s with minimal afternoon thunderstorm chances. Lows will bottom out in the upper 60s fairly routinely as well, with even some mid-60s possible in less urbanized locations.

Temperatures start to warm again as we get into the weekend, but highs should continue to run generally in the mid-to-upper 80s with scattered thunderstorm chances each day.
