Extreme heat warning Monday
What to expect:
A large upper-level ridge will dominate much of the central lower 48, leading to a surge in moisture and heat all the way up into the upper Midwest. Dew points will climb into the upper 60s and even the lower to mid-70s at times, making for sweaty and sticky weather.
High temperatures will generally reach the upper 80s to mid-90s this week, but Monday is expected to be the hottest day. Afternoon highs could climb into the mid to upper 90s, while dew points rise into the low to mid-70s.

What's next:
The rest of the week will be hot and muggy with highs in the 90s and overnight lows in the 70s. Daily storm chances remain in the forecast, mainly during the evening and overnight hours.
