Hot weather will continue on Monday with several locations seeing afternoon temperatures climb above 100 degrees. With heat index values in the 100 to 105 degree range and plenty of sunshine, the threat for heat related illnesses will be enhanced.
Hot and dry conditions will continue through Tuesday as a strong ridge of high pressure aloft remains in control of the area. A weak cold front will sweep through the region on Tuesday, but will only lower temperatures 5 to 10 degrees.
