FORECAST:

• A little more humidity is creeping into the area today, so it will feel warmer than yesterday.

• Highs are expected to reach the upper 80s, and it will feel like the lower 90s with the heat index. Storm chances return this afternoon and evening.

• Scattered downpours will develop north toward the mountains early this afternoon and then work their way into the metro by the evening.

• Some of these could become severe, with damaging winds and hail as the main threats. Widespread, severe weather is not expected.

• This more summer-like pattern remains through the weekend as highs stay near 90.

• Storm chances remain, but there won’t be any washouts for holiday weekend plans.
