| TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2024 TODAY:
STORM ALERT
Mostly Cloudy, Scattered Storms
Highs: 85-89
Winds: South 5-15 mph
Plan for a very humid day with more clouds and higher rain chances. With the added cloud cover, high temperatures will top out in the mid-80s, but it will still feel like the low to mid-90s with the humidity. Higher rain and storm chances are expected during the afternoon and evening hours, so you'll want to keep the rain gear on hand. One or two storms could reach severe limits with damaging winds. The Storm Prediction Center has the DMV in the Level 1 of 5 (Marginal) risk category. TONIGHT:
Mostly to Partly Cloudy
Areas of Patchy Fog
Lows: 73-76
Winds: South 5 mph
Rain and storms will end giving way to partial clearing overnight. This could aid in the development of patchy fog across the area. Otherwise it will be warm and very humid.
WEDNESDAY:
Sunny to Partly Cloudy
Isolated Shower, Storm
Highs: 92-97
Winds: West 5-10 mph
Higher heat builds for the middle of the week with highs in the low to mid 90s. Humidity values will drop off a bit, but still plan for feels-like temperatures to be around 100 degrees. A stray shower or storm may bubble up during the afternoon or evening, but a much higher chance your neighborhood will remain dry. THURSDAY:
Partly Cloudy
Isolated Shower, Storm
Highs: 93-98
Winds: Northwest 5-10 mph
The month of August will start off very hot with highs well into the 90s. Heat index values will approach 105 degrees, so the National Weather Service may issue heat alerts. FRIDAY:
Partly Cloudy
Scattered Storms
Highs: 93-97
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
We'll round out the week with heat index values, once again, around 105 degrees. Scattered showers and storms are possible during the afternoon and evening hours. FIRST WEEKEND OF AUGUST:
Plan for a hot and humid weekend. High temperatures will reach the mid 90s on Saturday and low 90s on Sunday. At this point, Saturday looks like it will feel the hottest with heat index values over 100 degrees. Scattered showers and storms are possible both days during the afternoon and evening hours.
