A hot & muggy start to the week

Happy Monday! Temperatures will warm up near 90° with intervals of clouds and sunshine. There is a chance of an isolated shower and thunderstorm during the afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has placed us under a level 1/5 risk for strong to severe storms with damaging winds being the top concern. There is a Code Orange Air Quality alert in effect for areas to the northwest of the bay as the air may be unhealthy for those who suffer from heart/lung issues. Temperatures will climb into the upper-90s through the middle of the week with possible record-breaking heat on Wednesday! The record is 101° set back in 1948. Heat index values will range between 100-105°. Temperatures will drop significantly late-week, into the 80s with rounds of rain and thunderstorms. Rain chances linger into Saturday before conditions dry out on Sunday.

Have a sunny day!
