Synopsis:
The heatwave will continue for the foreseeable future. Much of the nation is sweltering as hot high pressure stretches from the Plains to the Atlantic coast. The hottest temperatures of the season so far are expected within the next five days. Scattered storms are possible late in the day today as a weak front works through from the West, most areas will remain storm-free.
The heat will stick around through the upcoming weekend under a blazing sun and high humidity. The heat will peak on Sunday. Many areas will be around 100º. Monday should be the last day of this torture as a cool front, hopefully with some meaning, works in. Scattered storms are possible in the afternoon.
During the heat wave please take it slow outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids. Check on the elderly and pets. Listen to your body, if you feel dizzy or fatigue take a break and try to stay in air-conditioned or cooler areas.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
