August 2, 2008: 9:20pm

Heat and humidity for the beginning of next week...

Sunday will be an average summer day with dewpoints in the lower 60's and highs in the upper 80's to lower 90's. However, with light winds, there is an AQ Alert for tomorrow, so sensitive groups should not spend much time outside.

Expect more AQ alerts Monday and Tuesday...Monday's highs will be in the lower to mid 90's with dewpoints in the middle 60's, but light winds will keep air pollution high. Monday's heat indices could rise to near 100.

CODE Red for Tuesday...

Tuesday will be the climax of the weather of the past 2-3 weeks, with temperatures rising to the middle 90's to 100 degree temps possible in some spots. A heat advisory may also be put out for Tuesday, as dewpoints in the lower 70's may cause heat indices to rise to 105 degrees!!!

Tuesday night will begin the breaking of this hot pattern. We are in a 30% severe weather risk from the SPC for Tuesday. Damaging winds are likely to be the main threat with this, but we will have to see how it evolves.



Wednesday and Thursday will hold a chance of lingering showers. Rain cooled highs will be in the middle 80's.

Next Friday-Saturday will be sunny with highs in the middle to upper 80's, and much very comfortable humidity levels...
