FORECAST:

• The heat is expected to return today, with highs reaching the lower 90s.
• By tomorrow, we’ll be in the mid-90s, and the heat index will likely eclipse 100 degrees.
• The steam factor increases a bit more into the weekend, with heat index values between 100 and 105 degrees through Sunday.
• As far as rain chances go, nothing widespread is expected. So, that bodes well for fireworks displays but doesn’t help out the heat.
• Hurricane Beryl remains a Category 4 storm as it heads toward Jamaica today.
• There could be a slight weakening later this week as the storm heads into Yucatan, Mexico.
• Thereafter, the storm could head toward far south Texas by the end of the weekend.
