Synopsis:
The heatwave will continue most likely through Monday. 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 four days. The heat will peak on Sunday where 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.
Relief from the heat will arrive on Tuesday.
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.
