Mid-Summer Weather...

Look for hot, humid condition most of this week with lots of highs in the lower 90s in the Piedmont and lows in the 60s. Some spots could hit the mid 90s at times.

While the most concentrated areas of showers and storms the next few days will be to our north and west, we are close enough to catch an outflow boundary from time to time, and I will mention daily chances of a few afternoon and evening showers and storms. Any storm that forms could produce some gusty winds, hail, and lots of lightning.

The coverage of showers and storms could increase Friday into Saturday as the next system approaches. At the moment, I will mention scattered storms for the rest of the Memorial Day weekend, but it doesn't look like a wash-out at this point.
