Possibly record-breaking heat to start off the week with highs in the upper-90s Monday. Tuesday will have slightly cooler temps but similar heat index due to high humidity. This could allow for some strong thunderstorms with the weak cold front passage. This frontal boundary stalls out and becomes stationary. Cooler, drier air finally arrives later this week past.
Rest of today – sunny and hot with high temperatures in the upper-90s. Record breaking highs are possible across the region with strong 850 mb temperature anomalies above the surface. Overnight lows in the upper-70s could break some records for highest minimum temperatures.
GFS 850 mb temperature anomalies for 2PM Monday 
Weather Prediction Center surface forecast for 8PM Tuesday.
Tuesday – although temperatures are overall expected to be cooler in the low-90s with more clouds, an increase in humidity will result in a heat index similar to Monday at or above 100ºF. A weak cold front moves through the region Tuesday evening and this could bring about a few strong to severe thunderstorms. Widespread severe weather is not expected at this time. Overnight lows in the mid-70s.
Wednesday – a bit cooler with high temperatures around 90ºF. Overnight lows continue to be uncomfortable in the mid-70s.
Thursday – high temperatures remain warm in the low-90s and mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows in the mid-70s. Looking ahead, above average warmth is still possible next week, even though we are expecting a break from the heat during the weekend.
