FORECAST:
Today the heat and humidity will remain high across the island. Most of the area is under a heat advisory until 7 p.m. This evening. With the high heat and humidity, there is a chance for a pop-up storm this afternoon and early evening. An isolated and low risk for a strong or severe thunderstorm is possible this afternoon and early evening. Damaging wind gusts and heavy rain are the greatest concern.
Tonight, it will be cloudy, muggy, but mainly dry. By Tuesday, another hot and humid day is expected, but will be just shy of reaching the heat advisory criteria. Regardless, the temperatures will feel like the low to mid-90s during the day, so it will be another hot one on tap.
Improvements will arrive by late week following the passage of a cold front; this will trigger rain chances on Wednesday afternoon and night, with cooler and drier air taking over by Friday and into the weekend.
