The stormy setup we have going on right now across the commonwealth is nothing less than amazing. I&#8217;ve said for years that extreme seems to be the new normal around here and this summer is backing that up&#8230; again. I really can&#8217;t find a break in this thing and next week has me a little concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Before I get to that, we have storms to contend with today. Some of these could pack a punch with local wind damage and high water the main threats.<\/p>\n<p>Scattered storms continue this weekend as steamy temps take over. A 90 in the west and south is possible, with other areas mid and upper 80s. The high humidity levels could make it feel close to 100 degrees at times.<\/p>\n<p>This takes me to the setup that has me very concerned for much of next week. A heat ridge builds in to our southwest as cool air surges into the Great Lakes and northeast.
