Heatwave Ahead!

Happy 4th of July! A summer airmass is headed this way. First, it will become hot, then the humidity comes in. Temps in the mid to UPPER 90's. will last through all of next week. I don't see relief until a cold front next weekend. Also, night time temps will only fall into the mid 70's by dawn. Now is the time to install the AC. Most days will be dry, although a stray storm is possible middle of the week.
