The weather forecasts have been warning that it will feel like what August should be around these parts for a few days already. Today's forecast sets the stage for some hot muggy weather moving forward. Skilling Central calls for highs in the upper 80s, carried by southwest winds, and scattered late afternoon showers will provide us with a preview of Thursday's weather.

As we head into the evening, expect the rain and possible thunderstorms to continue through Friday, when it's going to get muggy to go with highs in the mid-90s. August, she is finally here.
