Hot Weather Today... Hot Weather Tomorrow?

It's been another toasty and somewhat muggy day - although not quite as muggy as what we saw for Sunday after those morning rainstorms... Today we've been seeing dewpoints in the middle 60s, while Sunday we saw middle 70s. Dewpoints being a reflection of the amount of moisture in the air- middle 70s are more typical tropical types of dewpoints. Very moist, and very hot.

This image below is showing some of the current temperatures as of nearly 6pm at night on Monday:

While we have been hot in our region - look toward Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas... see those 100s? Makes you realize it isn't "that" hot here - but is definitely hot, despite what others are seeing. In Houston, TX, a fellow meteorologist I know informed me that they've now had 11 days in a row of highs 97 or higher.

We'll continue to see plenty of hot weather for Tuesday... although not as hot as people are seeing to the South. Temperatures will make it back up into the lower 90s for Tuesday in the East and the Southeast.

Look to the Northwest, though, on that map above of forecasted temperatures for Tuesday. You can see 70s and 80s on the way, so there will be some relief by Wednesday. Don't expect 70s - but middle to upper 80s are a possibility.

Enjoy the heat - and schedule some time to visit a swimming pool or a lake!
