WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Heat and humidity build even further today and Monday, with afternoon temperatures reaching the lower 90s. Feels like numbers won't be as brutal as yesterday but still quite hot with middle and upper 90s expected. Find a way to stay cool and check on the vulnerable. A few scattered showers return Monday and Tuesday before slightly cooler temperatures arrive during the second half of next week.
Overall, the stretch from today through Tuesday will feel very summer-like, with above-average temperatures and only isolated opportunities for storms to start the new work week. Some relief is on the horizon with the next 8-14 days showing slightly below average temperatures which could mean more 70s and 80s versus the 90s we are experiencing now. Humidity will lower to more manageable levels for most.
