High temperatures will be near 85 Degrees with very humid conditions. Tuesday Through Next Friday: A prolonged summer pattern is expected throughout next week with heat and lots of humidity. Tuesday is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures between 85 and 90 Degrees.

High temperatures will be between 90 and 95 Degrees. Thursday also looks hazy, hot and humid. In addition, a frontal boundary is expected to slide through the area during the late afternoon and evening hours of Thursday. This means that thunderstorms, some of which could be strong to severe are expected during late Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening. High temperatures Thursday will be between 90 and 95 Degrees. Continued very warm and humid conditions are expected next Friday with a mixture of sunshine and clouds anticipated. High temperatures will be between 85 and 90 Degrees.
