We can expect more scorching hot days ahead. Tomorrow and for the rest of the week, we'll be seeing highs in the upper 90s. The humidity levels are staying relatively low for now, but Gulf moisture is set to make a return, bringing along with it a chance of low rain chances. Heat indices could reach up to 107°, which is pretty close to the 108° threshold for a heat advisory. Stay cool and hydrated out there!
