We’ll be cruising through the 80s at lunchtime, if not 90-degrees itself, and that’s before adding the influence of humidity to the mix.

Downpours with lightning will affect afternoon events and backyard barbecues, adding as much as another inch or two of rain in some of the stronger cores. By evening, we’ll be seeing those showers exiting to the east and improving skies settling in time for the prime-time events at the festivals. The humidity will remain high right through tomorrow morning.
