Today's Weather: A Break From The Rain

By Lisa White in News on Jun 9, 2015 1:30PM

Despite the overcast conditions outside right now, the sky should clear up and we'll have a warm and sunny break from the thunderstorms. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s but an onshore breeze will keep it feeling cooler by the lake. Tonight clouds will move in and we could have a few showers and thunderstorms popping up later.

The forecast for the week has shifted and what should have been a trio of sunny days now looks to be riddled with thunderstorms and rain. Tomorrow we could have the hottest day of the year so far as we reach into the upper 80s with thunderstorms, especially in the late afternoon. Expect high humidity and the strongest storms Friday night.
