Ridiculously humid air settling in today. That'll all fuel our threat for flooding this afternoon. Plan on temps in the lower and middle 80s with heat index readings approaching 90º. Super Sweaty! The storms that build this afternoon will be slow-moving and produce heavy rain.

That means localized flooding is a concern. Poor drainage areas and areas prone to flooding should be on alert for rising water this afternoon. Any storms fade after sunset giving us a mainly dry end to the workweek. Only an isolated storm chance Friday afternoon thanks to a SURGE of heat. We're pushing 90º both Friday & Saturday.
