Isolated showers will be possible tomorrow evening as a weak front moves into the area. This front will lower the humidity by the middle of the work week.

An EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING will be in effect until Tuesday at 7pm for the entire Storm Station Forecast Area. Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values possibly exceeding 115 degrees are expected. Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Any clouds remaining this evening will clear out overnight. High humidity will result in feels-like temperatures in the 90's for your morning start. Some clouds will start to move into the area as a weak cold front moves into the area in the afternoon and evening. This cold front will also bring the possibility for isolated showers and thunderstorms. Unfortunately it will be another hot one tomorrow with a afternoon high in the 100's. 

Up Next: As the cold front moves through the area, it is expected to filter some less humid air into the region. As a result, lows on Wednesday and Thursday morning will get back into the mid 70s. Those afternoons will stay hot and dry with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Fortunately, feels like temperatures will stay near the actual temperatures because of lower humidity. By the weekend, humidity will gradullay increase with high temperatures pushing on the 100's again.
