Tuesday will be another summer day of sun, clouds, and afternoon showers and storms.  A strong storm or two is possible, especially in the interior.  Tuesday’s highs will be in the steamy low 90s.

Wednesday will feature a mix of sun and clouds early, followed by a few showers and storms during the mid and late afternoon hours.  Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 90s.

We’ll feel the effects of Saharan dust on Thursday, as much drier air will create a bit of a haze.  Look for sun and a few clouds to start and a few isolated showers and storms in the mid to late afternoon.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s again.

Friday’s forecast calls for more of the same — hazy skies, plenty of sun, and a few isolated showers and storms.  Highs on Friday will be in the low 90s.

In the tropics, the low several hundred miles southeast of Cape Cod has a low chance of developing into a subtropical depression during the next day or so.  After that, colder waters are expected to cut off the possibility of development.
