A very slight chance of rain today. Mostly what we have is the beginning of a hot week of 90 degree days. There is an Excessive Heat Watch through Friday. The Jet Stream wandered way to the north, leaving us undefended from the high pressure building from the south. We are destined to be getting a taste of what states like Louisiana contend with all summer long. This is a week to pay attention and stay safe. Keep hydrated and either in A/C places or if you must be outside, keep to or get to shaded areas often.  Look for rain next weekend, which should knock us out of the 90 degree days into the 80s. That should feel downright refreshing after managing to get though this week. At any rate, be careful of this brutal heat coming our way. And if you get a chance, check in with older folk or those without A/C. You may just save a life. Because this kind of heat can certainly take it away.
