Highs well up into the 90s and dew points in the 70s will raise heat indexes over 100 degrees and a heat advisory is in effect.
Hot and humid weather will continue Monday and Tuesday with again highs in the 90s both days along with continued humid conditions with dew points remaining in the sultry 70s. There is only a 20% chance of rain on Monday and a 40% chance on Tuesday.
