The extended forecast can be described simply as hot and humid. Expect the highest temperatures and heat indices so far this year with humidity even keeping nights muggy and uncomfortable.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Skies will clear overnight as showers and thunderstorms fizzle while pushing away to the east. Increased humidity will keep low temperatures in the mid 70s with light, southwest winds. Tuesday will be hot and humid with high temperatures in the mid 90s and feels-like temperatures in the low 100s. Skies will be mostly sunny with minimal chances for a spotty shower.

Up Next: Wednesday through Sunday will feature highs temperatures in the upper 90s, between 96 – 98 degrees, and low temperatures in the upper 70s, between 76 – 78 degrees. High dew point temperatures and ample humidity will cause afternoon feels-like temperatures to maximize between 105 – 110 degrees. This type of prolonged heat, with little relief overnight, can lead to heat illness. Be sure to remain hydrated and do not overexert outdoors during the middle of the day. As far as showers and thunderstorms go, chances look bleak. The best opportunity for a spotty shower may be on Thursday or Friday, but rain coverage is posted at ten percent.
