Today (Monday): The sun beats down and it gets hot, fast. We’ll probably reach 90 before noon and afternoon highs soar into the mid- to upper 90s. Add in high humidity (dew points near 70) and it feels like 100 to 105. Our advice is becoming a broken record, but remember to hydrate and take breaks if spending long hours outside. An isolated pop-up storm can’t be ruled out but most of us are rain-free. Winds are light from the southeast. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Setting aside a rogue evening storm, it’s partly cloudy and muggy overnight. Areas around downtown probably don’t drop below 80 while our cooler locations settle in the low-to-mid 70s. Air conditioners will be working hard. Confidence: High

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Tomorrow is like a carbon copy of Monday, except we might see a couple spots hit 100. Heat indexes again peak near 105. A few storms could flare up late, especially east of Interstate 95. Winds are light from the south. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: It’s another sultry night with lows near 80 downtown and in the 70s elsewhere. Most of us stay dry. Confidence: Medium-High
The heat and humidity on Wednesday will be comparable to Monday and Tuesday with highs in the mid- to upper 90s and heat indexes over 100. There’s about a 30 percent chance of some late-day storms as tropical moisture increases over the region although the remnants of Beryl will probably pass well to our northwest. Muggy on Wednesday night with lows in the 70s to near 80. Confidence: Medium-High
It’s not as hot Thursday and Friday because of a stalling front and increasing cloud cover but humidity levels remain oppressive. Showers and storms are possible both days, but they may be most numerous on Friday. There is the potential that some areas deal with heavy rain and flooding. Highs on Thursday are probably in the low 90s, while they may hold in the 80s on Friday. Lows are mostly in the 70s. Confidence: Medium
There is a decent chance we’ll dry out in time for the weekend but it will probably still be very warm, if not hot. Highs Saturday should come close to 90, while we could be back in the low to mid-90s by Sunday. Nighttime lows are mostly in the 70s. Confidence: Medium
