Tomorrow (Sunday): Hot and soupy highs around 90 to 95. Feeling as hot as 95 to 100 with moderate to high humidity (dew points in mid-60s to near 70). An approaching front should spark at least scattered storms, especially after 3 p.m. A few storms may bring strong winds, hail, and even a tornado.

A look ahead
Monday and Tuesday are the kind of days you might wish for on a weekend. Mostly sunny to start the workweek. Plenty of sun Tuesday, but with a small shower chance late. Highs both days look to target 80, give or take a few. Confidence: Medium
Back into the 80s on Wednesday — they don't stay away long in June. The sometimes-standard June storm chance may also make an appearance. Confidence: Medium
Hotter and more humid for Thursday. It could be the next bigger chance of storms after Sunday, with another front approaching the region. Before that, highs near 90. Confidence: Medium
