Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 96 degrees Monday.

Nitz said the heat will continue throughout the week, with highs remaining in the mid-90s and heat index values staying in the low triple digits.

“And we’ll keep the heat through the week, mid 90’s, heat index in the low triple digits, we’ll have some isolated storms back in the afternoon each day,” Nitz said.
