.DISCUSSION...
Today, a slight cooling period will commence, with

This will mean heat index values will peak in the low 90s
across the mountains, and the low 100s across the Piedmont.
Each day the region looks to cool by a few degrees, which will
bring temperatures back to seasonal values for this time of the

started fires.
