It will depend on how early convection breaks out and as we saw yesterday it will not take much of a delay to allow temperatures to soar into the 90s. Feel clouds and rain will hold off long enough to allow most locations to reach the middle 90s. These temperatures combined with dew points solidly in the middle 70s translates to heat index around 105 degrees. A few locations may see heat index top out near 110 degrees.
Today's Pollen Levels: 1.7 Low (on s a scale to 12); Predominate Pollen: Grass & Nettle.
