It is definitely a hot one outside today, and unfortunately, we’re not done with the heat just yet. An active Heat Advisory remains in place through Friday. While we’ll have some chances for rain this week, it doesn’t look like that rainfall will do much to bring temperatures down.

The heat is expected to stick around through the weekend, but there is some relief in sight. By Monday, we should finally see a noticeable change, with highs dropping to around 80 degrees. From there, temperatures look to stay much more comfortable, with highs generally in the upper 70s to lower 80s throughout next week.
