Tuesday starts sunny and already warm, with temperatures in the mid-70s early and a light northeast breeze. It will not take long to heat up. By late morning, the sunshine is still in full control and the air will feel more like 84 degrees than the actual 76.
Through the afternoon, the heat turns up fast. Expect a high near 100 with mostly sunny skies, a light south-southwest wind around 7 mph and gusts near 14 mph. Rain chances stay close to zero, so the main story is the heat. It may feel as hot as 105 during the peak of the day, so this is a good afternoon to take it easy, find shade and keep the water bottle close.
