Highs reached the mid-to-upper 80s with moderately high humidity. Whereas thunderstorms overachieved yesterday in their coverage and intensity, early returns suggest they’ll underachieve today. As for the weekend, Saturday looks dry and warm for the most part whereas thunderstorm chances increase Sunday. Through Tonight: I’ll call for a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Any that do develop may be slow moving, and thus capable of producing heavy rain. In addition, small hail and gusty winds may accompany storms. Storms have been slow getting going, but may develop/move in more between 5 and 10 p.m. before winding down. Later tonight, skies are partly cloudy with lows in the low 60s in the cooler suburbs to near 70 downtown. Saturday and Sunday: Although an isolated storm can’t be ruled out (10-20 percent chance) in the afternoon or evening, Saturday is the drier of the two days. Skies are partly to mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s to around 90. Mild Saturday night with lows in the mid-60s to low 70s (downtown). Sunday sees building afternoon clouds and 30-40% chance of afternoon and evening storms. Highs should be around <a href="http://www.trading666.com/brand-bags-t1-8.html"><strong>wholesale juicy handbags online</strong></a> 90. Both days are fairly humid.
