Severe thunderstorm WATCHES has been posted for northern and southern counties until 8pm. This doesn't mean the central part of the state won't see storms, it just means there is a greater threat for more widespread storms across both the northern and southern areas of the state. The biggest threat will be damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph. Stay weather aware for the quickly changing weather conditions today.

Heat and humidity build even further Sunday and Monday, with afternoon temperatures reaching the lower 90s. A few scattered showers return Tuesday before slightly cooler temperatures arrive during the second half of next week. Overall, the stretch from Sunday through Tuesday will feel very summer-like, with above-average temperatures and only isolated opportunities for rain outside of today's storms.

Some relief is on the horizon with the next 8-14 days showing slightly below average temperatures which could mean more 70s and 80s versus the 90s we are experienced now. Humidity will lower to more manageable levels for most.
