Scattered Afternoon Storms Ahead of Midweek Change

May 31, 2026

A standard late-spring pattern of daytime heating and afternoon storms dominates the start of the week, but a weak front shifting through by midweek promises a distinct drop in both daytime highs and overnight humidity.

Pop-up afternoon storms remain a threat through Monday and Tuesday, with Tuesday carrying the highest coverage at 60 percent as a wind shift takes hold. By Wednesday, an easterly breeze ushers in a welcome string of slightly cooler, significantly drier days with highs holding in the lower 80s and clear, comfortable nights dipping into the 60s.
