85/67 after a low of 71 here. On the way to upper 90s / low 100s the next 2 to 3 days, perhaps some records. 850 temps surge to >22C for parts of the area over the next 48- 60 hours. Pop up storms should be very isolated this weekend before more widespread storms come later Mon (7/25) and into Tue (7/26). Monday remains hot but only clouds and an early arrival storms would spoil more strong heat 95+. Tue (7/26) depending on when we clear out from storms and rain could break the hetwave for most folks. The Western Atlantic Ridge is building west by Wed (7/27) and a very warm / very humid with what seems to be a much more stormy / Florida type pattern to end the month. Again , need to watch where the boundary sets up between the building Bermuda high and periphery of ridge next week. That area could get boat loads of rain. Either way much more rain and storm chances, but overall warm to hot pattern through the month. Way beyond EC ridge looks linger.
