Partly to mostly clear tonight and muggy in the mid to upper 60s.
The heat expands on Tuesday with highs around 90°. That’ll make it the warmest day of the year so far. It’s also near a record. 91° is the record for that date set back in 1948.
Strong to severe storms will develop late Tuesday evening with high winds and heavy downpours the main concerns.
