This summer was predicted to be hotter than average. Now, a prediction-confirming heatwave is passing through the Southwest and making its Midwestern debut. Hello sunshine.
You likely noticed high temperatures and humidity yesterday, as heat indexes reached 100 degrees. The trend will continue through Tuesday, Aug. 1.
From Wednesday, July 26-Friday, July 29 temperatures will reach 100+ degrees during the day. At night, temperatures are expected to hover in the 80s. Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31 will be in the high 90s during the day, high 80s at night.
On Monday, July 31 and Tuesday, Aug. 1, daytime temperatures will return to the 100s. Then the heat wave begins to break, with temperatures gradually falling into the 80s.
