LOCAL FORECAST AHEAD:

Tuesday will be a lot like yesterday. The next best chance for rain looks to be Wednesday. Scattered storms will roll in by Wednesday afternoon and continue through early Thursday morning.

Despite the minor chances for rain, it will still be a pretty nice day. Highs will make it to the middle 80s yet again. We might see a few spots of smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere. That might lead to more filter sunshine for the next few days.

More rain chances return as we go towards the end of the 7 day forecast as another set of lows move into our portion of the Midwest.

There won’t be quite enough moisture or strong winds to create any severe weather thankfully! In fact, both the heat and humidity will continue to remain mild over the next several days. We don’t see a large uptick until the end of the 7 day forecast.

Temperatures will stay below average though the middle of this week, but upper 80s and low 90s will return by next week.
