TODAY: Monday is an ABC17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day as it is hot. We will have a feels like temperature above 105 for some today and Tuesday which is also an alert day.

TONIGHT: After a hot and sunny day, we'll have a warm overnight, keeping lows in the 70s under mostly clear skies.

EXTENDED: Tuesday as mentioned will be hot, but there is a chance at some relief after 7 p.m. with a chance for storms to fire up. This brings lightning and thunder but severe weather is not expected. Wednesday also presents a chance for storms mostly in the evening, but it will likely be another hot day, and another Weather Alert Day may be needed. Rain chances increase as a front slowly drops south into the region Thursday and Friday. This will ultimately cool us into the 80s for highs by the weekend.
