HEADLINE: The heat is on! Slight chance for a thunderstorm. .
Meteorological summer has arrived - meteorologists consider summer to run from June 1st through the end of August. And right on cue - the heat is on. Hazy, hot, and humid conditions will continue into the weekend - as a matter of fact the warmest air may arrive Friday into Sunday..
I am adding the heat index graphics below and also a tropical outlook. Hurricane season officially begins today - June 1st.
.
There will be a weak front near the region on Wednesday - that means there could be a shower or storm pop up - especially over our northern counties. Also keep in mind that with the increasingly hot and humid air-mass we could have a few storms pop up through the week - very scattered in nature. Most areas will remain dry.
.
Let's take a look at the past week - these are the high wind and tornado reports - most of this activity occurred on the 25th. Click here for more detailed information..

How much above normal will high temperatures be on Wednesday? Several degrees! The map below shows you the departure from normal highs (normal highs are around 78-80 degrees). For example if the normal high is 80 degrees and the actual high is 90 degrees then we would be 10 degrees above normal. The map below is showing you how much above normal high temperatures should be on Wednesday.
