First Alert Forecast: Heat continues Monday with heat index over 100°

Temperatures will reach the middle 90s over the next few days with very little rain in the forecast. Combined with the humidity, temperatures will feel more like 100°+ through most of the upcoming workweek. In the southern and eastern portions of our area, the heat will enter the dangerous category where heat indices will top 105° (counties shaded in orange below) so you’ll need to take precautions to keep yourself safe if spending prolonged periods outdoors, or if you don’t have air conditioning in your home.

Rain coverage should stay fairly isolated Monday and Tuesday, similar to what we saw over the weekend. Only a few afternoon and early evening showers are expected with most places staying dry.
