Our Storm Center 7 team of meteorologists continues to TRACK these very high temperatures. We will have the latest TIMING on when we could see relief today on News Center 7 at noon and 5.

The heat wave will continue for the third straight day as we will see highs above 90 degrees.

The projected high is 95 degrees and would make Tuesday the hottest day this year and the hottest since 2012, Britley Ritz says.

The daytime should be dry, but some overnight storms could come from the north.

They will weaken and may not make it here, Ritz states.

We will see highs in the low to mid-90s throughout the week with very slim storm chances for now.

News Center 7 will update this story.
