The heat will gradually back down over the next few days. Highs today look to be in the lower 90s in many areas with upper 80s and low 90s tomorrow then some 80s over the weekend into next week.

A few showers or storms are possible today and tomorrow as well.

Over the weekend, a cold front will approach and move through, bringing good shower and storm chances along with it, especially Saturday night and Sunday. Behind that front, the weather looks very nice for a good chunk of next work week with 80s for highs, lows way down into the 60s, and low humidity.

Tropics...

Several areas of interest in the tropics....the most interesting of which is the eastern Atlantic where a couple of strong tropical waves have emerged off of the African coast. One or both of these waves could develop in coming days.....see the video for lots of graphics on this.
