Hot and humid holiday; storms tonight

 

It’s a hot and humid forecast for Fourth of July.

The day itself is nice for holiday plans, but late this evening we could start to see a few rain showers or thunderstorms. This could impact anyone hoping to have fireworks tonight.

Storms start after 8 p.m.

Storms continue overnight. There is a risk for some strong, possibly severe storms. Most likely impacts are downpours, gusty winds, and possibly hail.

The outlook for severe weather has been slightly upgraded from earlier this morning. Parts of Michiana are at a level 2/5 threat (orange) for tonight.

The hot, humid conditions continue throughout most of the week.

There are additional rain and storm chances each day.

Luckily, it looks like we will dry out by Saturday and Sunday for next weekend’s plans.

Today: Mostly sunny and hot. PM storms. High 92.

Tonight: Thunderstorms. Low 72.

Tuesday: Scattered thunderstorms. Partly cloudy and hot. High 90.
