Today will be the scorchiest scorcher of them all! This oppressively hot air mass remained in place overnight which prevented temps from cooling below 79F! Whew. The dew point is still in the 70s and temps will once again rise into the mid to upper 90s. The heat index will be in the mid-100s and sweating will NOT cool you off.

There is SOME relief, however, in the form of a line of thunderstorms that MAY roll through the city mid-afternoon in the evening today! The chance of storms will increase tomorrow. Temperatures will gradually fall back closer to “normal”, with a high of 90 expected tomorrow, and mid-80s on Weds and Thurs. Storms are possible every day.

Looking further into the future, the models do seem to agree that, at least for the next 2 weeks or so, the weather will be quite a bit warmer than normal - a far cry from the 46 degree low temp we experienced on June 1! Haha.

Tl;dr - SCORCHER today, hi 96F, v humid. T-storms possible this PM. Cooler tomorrow, Thurs, storms possible.
