Temperatures continue to warm up today

(WWAY) — Expect to see cloudy skies today with temperatures back into the upper 80s.

Today will continue the mainly dry weather with clouds and partial sunshine. It will start to heat back up with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. By late week… summerlike conditions will strengthen once again as Atlantic high pressure rebuilds with a mixture of sunshine and clouds and highs with a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Highs Thursday reach the lower 90s with heat indices reaching the upper 90s. Friday will be hot and humid with highs in the mid 90s and heat indices as high as 102-106. Another front will approaches the Carolinas and is likely to stall. The deeper moisture flowing in will combine with the front to bring a better chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday with highs in the lower 90s. With a couple of fronts in the vicinity early next week… our weather will remain unsettled with widely scattered daily showers and thunderstorms next Monday and Tuesday as highs reach the lower 90s.
