Let’s wrap up your day with a look at the forecast.

Weather

Splash-n-dash variety storms will wind down soon after sunset and we'll sit warm and muggy in the mid-80s later this evening. The weekend will be a pretty typical one for August: hot and hazy with highs in the mid-90s, a small chance to see some isolated downpours fire up by the afternoon. Next week, more of the same although we could see some deeper slugs of moisture creeping in from the Gulf which will beef up our rain chances by next weekend. Check Justin's full forecast here.
