Sunshine continues with hot temperatures for the workweek ahead

After a wet pattern the past few weeks, we'll finally get the chance to dry out through the next five to seven days. The pattern for the week ahead looks more like a summer pattern with sunshine each afternoon, temperatures reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s each day, and the main jet stream well to the north of the area.

Today we'll see mostly sunny skies with a few fair weather cumulus clouds. High temperatures will climb into the lower 90s both today and tomorrow.

South winds return on Monday, bringing humidity back into the area. With highs in the lower 90s, heat index values could approach the upper 90s across the region.

The jet stream does get active by the end of the week, but it appears most of the action will be to the north of us. I'll introduce isolated (20%) rain chances for Thursday as an upper-level disturbance moves to our north. Storm chances look much higher across the I-20 corridor.
