It is officially summer which means—depending on how you look at things—it's either the best time of the year or it's straight downhill to single digit temps and dibs. And the day is off to a good start right now with clear skies and calm winds. Business will pick up this afternoon as clouds roll in and things start to get muggy, with a solid chance for showers and gusty winds. Some of those storms will be heavy, so be prepared. The high should reach the mid-80s, setting the stage for the arrival of hot humid weather, just as nature intended.
