The heat continues to build today, under clearing skies as afternoon highs approach 100 degrees. A Heat Advisory is in effect for this afternoon as heat index values push to near 105. The heat and humidity will also help fuel the development of isolated afternoon thunderstorms over the mountains. These storms will move eastward through the evening, possibly reaching the metro area overnight.

An Excessive Heat Watch is in effect for tomorrow. Highs around 100 will combine with the humidity to push the heat index to near 110 degrees. Scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms are also possible.

Sunday will be much like Saturday, hot with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Highs will be in the upper 90s.

The hot and unsettled weather will continue on Monday with highs in the mid 90s and a chance for afternoon thunderstorms.

Tuesday and Wednesday currently look hot and dry, with highs remaining in the low to mid 90s.
