Near-record highs today. Even if we fail to hit 100 degrees, the combination of high heat and very high humidity keeps our bodies from cooling effectively.
As a cold front slowly approaches, we have a final day of high heat and humidity being pumped in on southwesterly winds. High temperatures aim for the mid-90s to around 100. Painful humidity remains, with dew points in the low to mid-70s. Showers and storms are a good bet late in the day, and a few could be strong or severe. Skies are decently sunny, but it’s not like we’re wanting all that much sunshine to compound the heat.
Confidence: MediumWe still have a slight shower or storm chance early, with weak atmospheric instability working its way through, behind the cold front. At least we have drier, more comfortable air to enjoy, riding in on northerly breezes. Mainly sunny skies — brightest in the afternoon — help boost high temperatures into the 82-to-87-degree range. Dew points ease back into the 60s . Confidence: MediumPretty decent as we ease down into the mid- to upper 60s. Skies should clear before dawn.
