Another warm and humid start to the day this morning with temperatures starting in the 60s. Partly cloudy, breezy and warm today with highs in the upper 80s with a southwest wind. Areas west of the U.S. 277 corridor are under a Red Flag Warning as the dryline will slip into the area dropping the relative humidity values in these areas this afternoon. Cold front still on track to arrive overnight in the area. There is an outside chance an isolated storm or two could pop up along the front or the dryline this evening but the chances are pretty low. In fact models develop the best rain chances overnight well to our east. Turning cooler with lows in the upper 40s.
