This whole week has been hazy, hot and humid along with heavy rain and thunderstorms. This active weather pattern really doesn't settle down much as we head toward another weekend. In fact, the thunderstorm chances increase for both Saturday and Sunday. Because of the rain and extra cloud cover, temperatures may be a smidge cooler, but only down to the upper 80s. If you are planning outdoor events this weekend, then have a backup plan.
