Severe Possible - Mid week cool down, but the HEAT IS ON!

For today: (Above graphics from Storm Prediction Center Day 1 Outlook)

Summer heat will persist as we climb to the mid-90s today in the region! You have to stay hydrated and please take it easy! There is a chance of an afternoon storm. Although we have a chance of a heat breaking thunderstorm, the best chances for severe weather will be north of our area!

Tomorrow: We only have a slight chance of a storm, and some better humidity. High still in the upper 80s.

Wednesday: Best weather of the week! Highs may stretch to reach the mid-80s.

Thursday: The heat comes back! Temps again approach 90 and feel hotter!!

Friday: Even hotter mid-90s and looking dry!

The weekend looks to have temps in the mid and upper 90s possibly with a chance of showers and storms each day!

THERE IS A CHANCE that a brief cool down COULD show up in a little over a week. I think it will be brief! The hotter weather will continue to be the rule - possibly straight through the rest of the summer!Please note that this is very typical for a summer following a strong El Nino!
