Well the dog days of summer are here.  Climatologically this is the hottest week of the year.  What this means is that from this point on, our normal high temperature begins to fall from the low 90s.  This doesn’t mean we can’t see triple digit heat in August, but at least we know that intense heat becomes less of an issue in the coming months. 

A Heat Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM and will most likely be reissued on Tuesday.  Afternoon storms still are possible, but the high heat and humidity are the bigger story as high temperatures soar into the mid 90s and heat indices top out around 105 degrees.

The tropics are quiet and expected to remain this way through the end of the week.  Our next name on the list by the way is Edouard.

That’s it for Monday, hope you have a great start to the work week.  We’ll see you tomorrow.
