If you've enjoyed the cooler, less humid conditions we had at the end of last week, we have some bad news for you.
Temperatures this week will approach the 100-degree mark and, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (and possibly Friday and Saturday), will surpass that mark. Heat indices all week will be in triple digits as humidity rises back to oppressive levels.
