.DISCUSSION...
The warmest temperatures of the season are forecast through
Tuesday. Decent humidity will push heat indices into the triple
digits, though delayed surface mixing in the afternoon will lead
to mid-to-late afternoon RH drops to 35-42% over much of the Quad
State. Winds will be light through the forecast, limiting
dispersion. A slight chance of thunderstorms is forecast tomorrow,
otherwise dry conditions are forecast until Wednesday when a cold
front moves through.
