Back to more heat today as a high pressure area slips to our south and we have a rather brisk southwesterly flow of hot and somewhat more humid air today. Highs will be mainly in the mid 90s with dew points in the upper 60s will cause heat indexes to rise to near 100 degrees.

Less hot and much less humid Thursday and Friday as a weak high pressure builds into our area and we will stay dry.

A front will be in our area over the weekend causing unsettled weather with a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday with increasing humidity. Showers will be more likely on Sunday.
