Simply stunning summer weather Wednesday, but storms loom later in the week
Skies are star-lit tonight, and the humidity isn't an issue. The weather looks ideal Wednesday. Storms may trip us up during one of our commutes Thursday.

A weather system that brought showers and isolated thunderstorms to parts of the area last night has now eased far enough offshore that sunny skies and seasonable temperatures carried us through our Tuesday. The air is still sticky, but we are noticing that the muggies are slowly letting up.
North, northwesterly winds are trying their best to bring in a more pleasant-feeling air mass. With each passing hour, that humid feel slowly moves farther south. Tonight should be very nice under mainly clear skies. Typical morning lows average in the upper 60s this time of year. Most of the region should be near normal tonight. A few spots in the northwest corner may get a wee bit chillier.
Wednesday looks fabulous from a forecast standpoint. Sunny skies with a seasonal feel in the air. The humidity shouldn't be too overwhelming. In fact, I think tomorrow will be the best day of the week weather-wise.
The forecast takes a turn on Thursday. We are keeping an eye on pockets of thunderstorms that will march through the region. While there are still some questions about exactly when these storms will rear up, it's looking more like late morning into the midafternoon. This will likely cut into beach, lake and pool plans. If the little ones are still in a summer camp, pack some wet weather gear just in case.
Friday is seeming to be slightly better looking. Drier air seems to be getting a better foothold over the area. This should limit shower development. The weekend is a coin flip at this juncture. To be honest, it is still too far off to make a definitive call anyway. Don't cancel outdoor plans just yet. But you should plan for the possibility of some wet weather. The face value of the computer guidance is that Saturday is cloudy but dry. Sunday would be the day to plan for wet weather.
