E-T Weather Update Tuesday Evening, September 15:

Another day, same old story…Hot, humid conditions continue through the rest of the week and weekend with highs in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees and lows in the 70s amid mostly sunny skies and little to no chance for rain. The ridge of high pressure that’s been dominating our weather just doesn’t won’t to let up.

Looking ahead to the start of next week, highs will be between 89-94 degrees with lows in the 68-73 degree range. Some isolated showers or storms will be possible Monday and Tuesday. Still hot, but a slight reprieve at least…God bless
