Some areas of the state may have a little more sunshine than yesterday, but it’s still going to be hot and muggy with plenty of scattered storms today.

The pattern will continue through the weekend, but we’re still thinking we could have some more comfortable temperatures and dryer weather early next week. Of course, that can always change, so we’ll continue to watch the models.
