A seasonable overnight with lows in the upper 60s and lower 70s will give way to a hot and humid Tuesday. Highs will soar into the lower 90s by the afternoon. But that’s cool compared to what’s in store later in the week.

Highs are expected to reach the upper 90s on Wednesday for the first day of July. Then they’ll pass the 100-degree mark on Thursday and remain there each afternoon through next Monday – 5 days in a row of dangerous heat.
When you factor in the humidity, the heat index will surpass 105 degrees on those days, topping out as hot as 110+ on Friday. This could warrant an excessive heat warning from the National Weather Service, put into place when the heat index reaches 110 for two straight days.
To make matters worse, high pressure responsible for the intense heat will also keep rain chances away. So there won’t be any showers and storms to help cool us off.
Highs return to the middle to upper 90s into the next week as the high starts to break down and scattered storm chances return after an extended hot and dry stretch.
