Impact Day Tuesday
The air gets hotter and heavier through midweek. The combination of highs near 90 degrees and very humid air will make it feel like the mid to upper 90s Tuesday. It will feel very similar before thunderstorms fire Wednesday afternoon.
Cloud coverage and unsettled weather could complicate the temperature forecast. The added clouds would tone down some of the heat, but not the humidity.
