Another quiet day is on tap for Thursday with high pressure in control. Lows bottom out in the low 70s, warming to around 90° in the afternoon. Dry air (for this time of year, anyway) will hang on for one more day, though it will be a bit more humid than it was on Wednesday. High pressure and warm air aloft should keep a lid on thunderstorms for one more day as well.

Standard summertime fare continues in the forecast for Tuesday with seasonably warm temperatures and a few afternoon thunderstorms. We’ll start the day on the warm side of normal ahead of a stalling cold front, with lows in the mid-to-upper 70s. The record warm low temperature at the airport for June 23 is 78°, set in 2024, and we may get close to that. From there, we’ll warm into the low 90s, but dewpoints in the low 70s will drive heat indices to around 100° at peak heating. We should see a few storms fire along and head of the seabreeze in the afternoon, though the convection-allowing models are rather sparse with coverage. If storms get going, there are some indications that a pocket of dry air in the mid-levels could help produce some gusty winds in addition to the usual heavy rain and lightning threat, so be alert for possible special weather statements or even warnings.
