DETAILED FORECAST 

Thursday: Another hot and humid day is expected with highs in the middle 80s, but it will feel warmer with the humidity.

Friday: Sun and a few clouds, hot and humid with highs around 90 degrees. It will feel like the mid-90s with the humidity. Slight chance of a few isolated storms is expected in the evening, but most will remain dry all day.

Sunday: A cold front crossing the area will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms. This front will finally break the heat and humidity the Miami Valley has been dealing with for days, but not before reaching into the middle 80s one last time.
