And here comes summer! Today is actually going to feel like early August as the mercury will rise into the upper 80s; highs should top out just a few degrees shy of 90 and the summer humidity will make its presence felt. After lunch there's a 30 percent chance of showers and storms scattered about. We'll also see some gusty southwest winds accompanying the boost in temps. Tonight lows will fall to around 70 as skies will be fair and the chance of rain remains.
