PM Update: Slightly less hot tomorrow, but severe storms possible
Near record heat today. Tomorrow’s high humidity may make it feel nearly as hot as today.
* Heat advisory until 8 p.m. *
It’s nearing the hottest day of the year so far, and even though we may fall shy (sadly?) of record-high temperatures, the heat index remains near 105 degrees. Tomorrow afternoon may feel similarly steamy thanks to even muggier dew points. We also have to monitor the chance for strong or severe storms.
Tomorrow (Monday): Morning skies are a bit brighter than the afternoon. High temperatures may spike into the low-to-mid-90s before rain chances increase in the midafternoon hours. Dew points near miserable levels in the mid-70s create heat index values again nearing the mid-100s.
As a cold front approaches, damaging winds and flooding downpours are possible in any thunderstorms, and they may continue into predawn hours. Low-to-mid-70s feel a bit better for low temperatures as dew points slowly come back down into the 60s.
