Synopsis:
The heatwave will continue through Monday. Much of the Southern two thirds 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 here on Sunday as the heat wave peaks. 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 behind the cool front. Listen, it won’t be 70º but anything is better than 100º. It’ll be a similar forecast for Wednesday.
By Thursday the humidity will increase as a push of tropical air comes up from the South.
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.
