Weather

We've now had six straight days of 100 degrees or higher. We topped the triple-digit mark earlier this afternoon. This evening will be steamy. Tomorrow, we finally see a break in the heat as a front helps to kick off some much-needed showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Highs will still be warm in the mid-90s.
