Through tonight: Showers continue to dampen parts of the area into the evening. A rumble or two could happen as well, but severe weather is unlikely.

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Partly sunny and a bit muggy are the weather stories much of the day. Showers and thunderstorms approach from the southwest late in the day. Some of these storms could produce damaging winds, but it may be that heavy rain and perhaps some flooding are the main threats, especially if activity moves in during the evening versus earlier. Before any of that, high temperatures are set to reach the mid- and upper 80s.

Next heat spell? Signs seem to be growing that temperatures could soar deep into the 90s mid- to late next week. Before that, any hotter temperatures tend to be short-lived, as in tomorrow. A big heat dome is expected to flex across the east for at least several days, starting around Wednesday of next week.
