Tracking more extreme heat, but some relief is in sight….We’re finally going to see a break from some of the extreme heat in your work week forecast. However, it’s going to take a few days to get here.
In the meantime, as we move through our Monday afternoon, high temperatures will soar into the low and mid 90s. Heat index values will range between 105 to 110 for several areas, so take your precautions. We’ll see a nice mix of sun and clouds today. An isolated shower or storm could pop up. Tonight, we’ll see mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. An isolated shower or storm is possible. Low temperatures will be in the upper 70s.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, we’re expecting more hot weather. Highs will rise into the mid 90s. Heat index values will likely be from 105 to 110. We’ll see a mix of sun and clouds. An isolated shower or storm is possible Tuesday. Rain chances will become a bit more scattered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as a front moves in from the north. Some of the rain will likely be heavy. Because of this setup, our temperatures will roll back into the upper 80s Thursday and Friday. Highs will be in the mid 80s for the weekend.
