I wish I had something better to report, but it is still hot and the humidity – after a day off – is back.

The heat will hold through the week. It does look like there is some evidence, albeit not much, that things will start to wane a bit as we head into next week. That should knock afternoon highs back into the low 90s. Maybe even the upper 80s. It would also come with some extra chances for rain.

That said, not a lot of evidence there. And for now, Hot.
