For the third day in a row, an Extreme Heat Warning has been issued for Monday. Make sure to slow down if outside and drink plenty of water! There will be a handful of cooldown showers and storms but most will stay dry.

Tonight & Tomorrow: We have seen spotty to isolated storms this evening, providing relief for some neighborhoods. These will fizzle out overnight, leading to mostly clear skies with lows in the upper 70s. Much more of the same weather pattern is expected to begin the workweek. Highs will once again reach into the upper 90s under partly sunny skies. Heat index values could top 113°, which is why an Extreme Heat Warning has been issued. Some relief from the skies is possible in the form of isolated showers and storms. Still, most will stay dry. 

Up Next: Expect more of the same from the weather all the way through next weekend! We are locked into a hot, humid pattern with daily highs hovering in the upper 90s and only sporadic showers/storms to offer brief relief. Heat alerts will be a fixture all week, so stay hydrated. Temperatures will ease slightly into the mid-90s by the weekend, though rain chances remain limited, leaving most of us high and dry.

This persistent dry streak is starting to take a toll. Moisture is evaporating from the soil and plants much faster than passing storms can replenish it. While parts of the area are already drier than usual, we could officially slip into moderate drought by the weekend. Keep your lawn sprinklers active and don't neglect your gardens!
