Higher humidity Monday, record heat likely this week

High pressure brought a sunny and hot day to the state to close out the weekend.

Humidity levels were moderate, but more comfortable compared to the last several days.

High temperatures were in the upper 80s to lower 90s. The dew point temperature remained in the more comfortable 60s, with some dipping down in the the low 60s.

By Monday, higher humidity is expected and heat will begin to build. Highs away from the shore will return the mid 90s. Feels like temperatures will be close to 100 degrees in some areas.

By Tuesday, we'll likely reach the peak of the heatwave with highs in the upper 90s with a heat index over 100 degrees.

Some relief from the high heat and humidity isn't expected until the end of next week.
