Hot, Scattered Showers Thursday And Friday; Rain Likely For The Weekend

July 9, 2026

Hot temperatures in the lower 90s will pair with isolated afternoon storms for Thursday and Friday before a major shift in the weather pattern brings widespread rain to the area. A high-pressure system begins to weaken by Friday night, opening the door for a surge of tropical moisture. Rainfall chances skyrocket to 70 percent on Saturday and peak at a soaking 90 percent on Sunday and Monday. The heavy cloud cover and persistent downpours will offer some relief from the heat, knocking daytime highs down into the mid-to-lower 80s by early next week, though muggy conditions and evening storms will linger through Wednesday.
