Muggy and warm weather arrives for the next several days to keep the air unstable, sparking thunderstorms for the early evenings.  Today's conditions are warm with a mix of sun and clouds. Highs will be in the lower 80s and the humidity level remains high. Storms arrive late tonight and carry through the overnight.

Tomorrow will start damp, but quiet with sun and clouds. It gets hot with temperatures reaching near 90 degrees. Storms fire up after 4 p.m. and pass through the state producing areas of flash flooding and some storms can have strong winds in central and northwestern areas. Storms taper overnight only to repeat for Wednesday.

This "rinse and repeat" pattern continues into Thursday where then the last of the rain departs. The weekend weather actually looks really good for Labor Day Weekend with lots of sunshine, warm temperatures, and noticeable humidity.
