Temperatures slowly climb through the mid-90s as we head into the second half of the week. Lows will be in the 70s and low 80s. There is a chance for a few pop-up showers each day but most of the area stays dry.

Our daily highs next week may near or break records in the upper 90s.

In the tropics, there are a couple of waves we are watching. there is no threat over the next 7 days for us.
