Synopsis:
A Western Atlantic high (Bermuda High) will continue to influence our area. This setup will result in high temperatures and humidity. Intense heat is likely through Wednesday. The heat index will approach 110º in some regions. This will become is our third heatwave of the season. The only relief will be along the immediate coast. The threat of thunderstorms is there for both days. The risk is for later in the afternoon and evening. Some of the storms maybe strong to severe. Keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather.
Relief from the heat and humidity will arrive on Thursday with an early morning cool frontal passage. Readings will be near average (the mid 80s) and humidity levels will be much lower. The fine July conditions will continue Friday and Saturday.
Please remember to check on the pets and elderly during this hot stretch. Drink plenty of fluids and try to stay out of the direct sun between 10am-4pm. Wear light weight, light colored clothing.
Stay tuned.
