.DISCUSSION...
Strengthening high pressure will pump up the heat and humidity
for the middle to latter portion of the week, with triple digit
heat indices becoming more commonplace. The chance for wetting
rains remains minimal this week, but temperature and humidity
levels will decline a little bit over the weekend and especially
by early next week, when rain chances pick up a little bit more.
