"The heat continues next week with FOUR *First Alert Weather Days* in a row!" said WFSB 3 TV forecasters. "Monday turns muggy with highs in the lower 90s, feeling more like it’s in the mid and upper 90s. Tuesday, temperatures reach the low and mid-90s, feeling like it’s 95-100. But the heat keeps building... by Wednesday, with a persistent southwest wind, temperatures reach the upper 90s! Humidity also climbs to oppressive levels, so it’ll feel like it’s 100° or higher. Records may also be challenged...Thursday will be similar to Wednesday, perhaps just a couple degrees lower....As we see it now, storms may be possible by Thursday." (Read more at WFSB 3 TV).
