Today is the official start of the 2022 hurricane season.
Look for another hot and humid day on the plateau, with one or two showers or storms around the area by afternoon. Better rain and storm chances arrive on Thursday with a cold front. In the wake of that front we’ll enjoy pleasant weather for Friday and Saturday. Only a slight chance for a shower or storm returns by Sunday, when a more summer-like pattern develops once again.
