Even Hotter?

Hot, humid weather will prevail heading into the work week. Yesterday was a boring day weather wise, with plentiful sunshine and a high of 90. Pretty much same thing for today just a bit warmer. A high of 93 with plenty of sunshine. If you think this is hot, just wait till Monday and Tuesday. Monday's temperatures will be the hottest we have seen so far this summer, with a high of 96. Tuesday will be a bit cooler (still hot) with a high of 94. I think a heat advisory or excessive heat warning will likely be issued for Monday and possibly Tuesday. It could be our 1st real HOT day this season. With the combination of temperatures in the upper 90's along with dewpoints in the 70's, I would prefer you stay indoors in the peak heating hours.

Along with the heat that we will have to deal with, the air quality won't be much better. Ozone alerts are in effect today for Vanderburgh and Knox Counties. The air quality alert is labeled "unhealthy for sensitive groups" which means young children, the elderly, and people with respiratory problems will be susceptible. I'm thinking that there will be ozone alerts also for Monday and Tuesday.

Our next chance for showers and storms will be Monday or Tuesday when a frontal boundary will drape throughout the area. Along with the chance of rain, the front will drop the temperatures by at least 5 degrees bringing seasonal temps. Along with that, it will bring some cloud cover which will be a great relief for everyone!
