Weather outlook projects heat with isolated showers
Weatherman Ditzler notes humidity hovering around 90 percent with no below 55 percent days this month. Isolated showers may arrive by noon Tuesday as a low frontal system from Michigan to Texas could trigger storms, some severe, providing only temporary relief from heat. Rain this month totals 4.64 inches, ahead of July 1975, while year-to-date rainfall remains below normal. July remains hot and humid with hazy skies, and historic July records show 106 degrees in 1952 and 42 degrees in 1972.
