       Highs today were mainly in the upper 80s, a bit below average. We’ve still got a few more days of average highs at 90 in the city. Of course, when the average goes down, the actual temperatures look to go up — alas. Humidity is back in town, and that will be the case through Tuesday as a storm threat develops late in the day.

       Tuesday storms? This afternoon, the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center upgraded the area to a Level 2 of 5 risk for severe weather on Tuesday. The risk is primarily for a line or broken lines of storms producing strong outflow that could bring damaging winds. Any isolated storms could also produce hail to about an inch in diameter.

       There is a Slight risk of severe weather for parts of the Northeast and lower/middle Ohio Valley today (7/24). Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern this afternoon, but isolated large hail is possible with the strongest storms. pic.twitter.com/mOJm27bKzC
