Current Surface Map

Summer begins at 7:09pm this evening and the weather will be appropriate. High pressure centered over the southeast will pump hot and humid air into the region, sending high temperatures into the mid to upper 90s today. The heat combined with the humidity will push heat index values above 100 degrees this afternoon.

The will not be much relief tonight, as temperatures will only fall to the mid 70s (around 80 in the cities) and heat index values will remain in the 80s to near 90.

Tomorrow is looking like it will be the hottest day, with highs approaching 100 degrees in most areas. Heat index values will again be around 105 degrees.
