Highs today were mainly in the upper 80s, a bit below average. We’ve still got a few more days of average highs at 90 in the city. Of course, when the average goes down, the actual temperatures look to go up — alas. Humidity is back in town, and that will be the case through Tuesday as a storm threat develops late in the day.
Through tonight: An isolated raindrop or rumble is possible, but don’t plan on it. Otherwise, it should be partly to mostly starry. Lows should settle into the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Showers or storms are possible in the early afternoon, but more likely from midafternoon to mid-evening. Some downpours could cause localized flash flooding, and there’s a risk of isolated damaging wind gusts. Before the storms, highs should be about 90 degrees.

Tuesday storms? This afternoon, the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center upgraded the area to a Level 2 of 5 risk for severe weather on Tuesday. The risk is primarily for a line or broken lines of storms producing strong outflow that could bring damaging winds. Any isolated storms could also produce hail to about an inch in diameter.
There is a Slight risk of severe weather for parts of the Northeast and lower/middle Ohio Valley today (7/24).
