Bruce: A more typical summer pattern moves in; sun, clouds, spotty storms with heat and humidity

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - -As moisture increases over the next few days, expect heat, humidity, spotty pm storms with a mix of warmer temps and higher humidity. Rain coverage through the end of the week will be ion the 30-40% range.

An area of low pressure south of us in the Gulf will increase our storm chances slightly Thursday as it drifts a bit northward. Most of the heavy rainfall and storm activity stays to our southeast offshore. The low is expected to approach the Florida peninsula this weekend. Afternoon showers are possible each day through the end of the week.
