Wednesday starts mostly cloudy and quiet, with temperatures near 70 and light east-northeast wind. It is a calm start, but the air already feels a little sticky early on.
By afternoon, clouds will mix with sunshine and the heat will build fast. The high reaches 92, and it may feel like 101 at the warmest part of the day. West wind stays light near 7 mph, with gusts up to 16 mph. A spotty thunderstorm may pop up late in the afternoon, with a 55% chance of rain. Any downpour could bring a quick burst of gusty wind.
Wednesday evening keeps that thunderstorm chance around early, especially before skies begin to clear. After that, the night settles down but stays humid. Overnight, the low drops to 64 with a light north-northeast breeze. By late night, conditions look quieter and more comfortable.
Ragweed is the big allergy issue Wednesday, with a very high allergy index. Grass, mold and tree pollen are all low.
Thursday looks a little easier to handle, with a high of 85 and a low of 61. Expect a mostly sunny day with humidity still around, but rain chances stay very low and the evening turns clear.
