An excessive heat watch is in effect. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s and 90s. Heat indices this week will linger around 100 degrees, with the worst conditions in the watch area. Isolated showers and storms are possible through the week, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours. Confidence is low. Today will be much warmer than yesterday, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Near-record overnight lows in the upper 60s and low to mid 70s this week will provide little to no relief from the heat. (NWS)
