Tracking a stretch of brutal heat
TODAY: Partly cloudy and hot with highs in the mid-90s. The heat index ranges from 103 to 108 degrees.
TOMORROW: Monday will be the worst with the heat index more easily above 105 across the area.
EXTENDED: Try to limit outdoor exposure as much as possible through Tuesday with the heat index well into the triple digits. We'll finally see a break in the pattern by mid-week as a cold front works in from the north Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing a chance for rain and storms. Severe weather isn't expected currently but flooding could be a concern from several inches of rain forecast. Temperatures will dramatically drop below average with highs in the lower 80s with lower humidity through next weekend.
