As nighttime settles in, temperatures aren’t expected to drop much, remaining in the mid to upper 70s.
What to Expect
After some morning clouds, the sun will make its presence known, creating conditions perfect for a hot summer afternoon. This trend of heat and mugginess is set to continue throughout the week as a strong ridge of high pressure dominates the region’s weather.

Stay Safe in the Heat
Residents are advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses by drinking plenty of water and seeking shade whenever possible. The ongoing heat serves as a reminder to be cautious and mindful of the potential dangers associated with such high temperatures.
