Isolated thunderstorms will be possible this evening, to be followed by a sticky night as lows fall into the upper 60s.  Wednesday will be just like today with partly sunny skies and a chance for the showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.  Highs will be in the middle 80s. We will have one more day of the warm and humid weather continuing over the area ahead of an approaching storm system.  Wednesday night you will see isolated thunderstorms in the area with overnight lows falling back into the mid and upper 60s.  Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a good chance of showers and thunderstorms in the area.  Highs will warm up into the lower to middle 80s.  Thursday night a cold front will sweep east of the area and we will find the overnight lows dropping back into the middle 50s.  Friday will be partly cloudy and cooler with highs near 72.  The holiday weekend looks to be very nice with sunshine for Saturday and Sunday, followed by a few clouds on Monday.  Highs will be in the 70s.  Tuesday looks to be our next chance of showers.
