Today's weather will feature muggier conditions and afternoon/evening thunderstorms. The storms will fire up after 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. and move randomly across parts of the state. There will be some communities that don't see the thunderstorms, but folks statewide should anticipate the chance for one today. Temperatures will be int he mid-80s this afternoon.

It turns hot tomorrow with highs in the mid-90s as a surge of heat and humidity arrives. This may start a heat wave where several days of temperatures in the 90s are increasingly likely through the weekend and early next week. 

There is a chance for pop-up afternoon and evening thunderstorms each day this week through Saturday. Sunday looks to be a better day with a lower chance for spot showers in the afternoon and evening.
