• The heat index hit 97 on Tuesday as most of the area remains in a heat wave.
• The heat wave will continue into tomorrow and we will start seeing heat index values in the triple digits.
• A cold front will bring more relief by the weekend, causing temperatures to go back down to the mid-80s Sunday.
• It will start kicking up storm chances and clouds and that will help get that thermometer down for the rest of the week.
• There is still no “Lee” yet out in the open Atlantic, but the storm is expected to form either today or tomorrow.
• At this time, it will be parallel to the Carolina coastline by next Thursday or Friday.
