Father's Day Forecast

Happy Father’s Day and happy first day of the summer solstice! Expect plenty of sunshine today, with afternoon highs climbing into the low to mid-90s. While "feels-like" temperatures are expected to stay just below National Weather Service Heat Advisory criteria, it will still feel quite hot and humid, with heat index values reaching the triple digits.

As for rain chances, inland communities have the best opportunity to see showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Some of the stronger storms could produce frequent lightning, so be sure to keep an eye on the sky if you have outdoor plans.
