Tonight will be mostly cloudy and muggy with the chance for an isolated shower or storm.

The first half of Tuesday is dry with temperatures rising into the 80s, though it will feel as if it is in the 90s.

Keep an eye on the sky after 2 p.m. for the chance of showers and storms. Storms could bring locally heavy rain and frequent lightning. Showers and storms end at night with a gradual improvement in our weather through Wednesday.

A warm, sunny stretch of great summer weather follows, and it looks fantastic for the holiday weekend.

My pick of the week is Friday with sunshine, lower humidity, and highs in the 80s. The nice weather will last through the weekend.
