7 Day Heat Wave!

Look at a map of current temperatures. We’re surrounded by heat and there’s no escaping it. Tuesday is day three of a seven day long heat wave!  The record longest is 10 days set in 1995. While temperatures will remain fairly similar each day, the humidity is going to climb as the week progresses.  The storm threat will be growing too. While an isolated storm is possible the next two days, more numerous storms will fire up Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Relief from the heat arrives Sunday!
