Good morning!  Our Weekend forecast is fairly routine.  Highs will be near 90.  Scattered random PM storms will develop each day.  Perhaps a little more numerous on Sunday and Monday as tropical moisture increases from the Atlantic and Gulf. Next week will be a little hotter with low to mid 90’s, and the return of triple digit heat indices.   The Tropics continue to come alive, especially by the second half of August.
