Isolated Showers, Warm

The upper air ridge influencing our weather could best be described as a dirty ridge as multiple impulses will put big dents in it today. However, these dents will be most noticeable well to our southwest as these locations will have the best chance of rain. I think a few isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon, but the coverage should be much less than yesterday. This also means temperatures will be a little warmer than yesterday, but the presence of clouds will keep highs around 92 this afternoon. Dew points will run in the mid 70s this afternoon, and combined with temperatures in the lower 90s, the temperature will feel like it's in the lower 100s at times. Increased cloud cover overnight will likely lead to similar temperatures to this morning so expect a low near 73.
