Today (Sunday): The heat remains intense with highs headed for the upper 90s to near 100 for a second straight day, and heat index values again reaching near 105. After mostly sunny morning skies, an approaching front brings increasing afternoon clouds, and the chance of scattered strong to severe storms during the mid-afternoon into evening. Any storms that develop could produce damaging winds, heavy downpours and potentially hail. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: It’s a mostly cloudy and muggy night ahead. Shower or thunderstorm chances linger during the evening due to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Overnight lows hover in the mid-70s, which could challenge some record-warm lows for the date. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Monday): A possible early-morning shower gives way to mostly sunny skies and more seasonable highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. A steady breeze from the northwest, gusting at times near 20 to 25 mph, brings in noticeably lower humidity, although we can’t rule out an isolated shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Any afternoon shower or storm chance dwindles as we get into the evening. Skies should turn mostly clear and it’s not too muggy, with lows in the mid-60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium
Tuesday should be similar to Monday with daytime highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. It’s a mostly sunny day and still not too humid, but maybe a touch more so than Monday. Confidence: Medium-High
The extreme heat is back for a return visit on Wednesday with highs in the mid-90s to near 100 and the heat index reaching 100 to 105. An afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm chance returns as well. Confidence: Medium
