Tuesday will be another sunny and very hot day. Most areas will see high temperatures reach the upper 90s with a few isolated areas possibly hitting 100 degrees. The good news is the humidity will not be extremely high so the heat index will not be a huge factor. This heat looks to continue through much of the work week with highs in the upper 90s through at least Thursday.
