WHAT TO KNOW
Monday brings the nicest weather of the week with lower humidity, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures.
A significant pattern change arrives beginning Tuesday as heat and humidity steadily build. Dangerous heat is expected from Wednesday through the Fourth of July weekend, with heat index values climbing into the low to mid-100s by Thursday and Friday.
