Temperatures will rise to around 90° once again today. Storm chances increase to 40%. We have a stationary front right on top of us. Showers and storms will ride along this front during the afternoon and evening hours. Expect this front to move a little west for tomorrow. No relief, yet, in the 7-day forecast (below) with the heat.
