Above average warmth continues through next week
This last week has been warm, and feeling warmer recently due to more humid air. However, temperatures have been close to or even below average for late July.

However, there will likely be at least a few days with heat indices in the 90s.

Thanks to the humid air in place this weekend, the heat index will be closer to 90 degrees. Not extraordinary for this time of year, but warm enough to pace yourself and stay hydrated.
