Hot, humid & hazy days ahead

Our heat wave continues and should stick around for most of the week. You also may notice hazy skies today and tomorrow after the arrival of a layer of Saharan dust this past weekend. In fact, air quality may be affected a bit by elevated levels of "particulate matter," which is basically microscopic dust. It won't bother most people, but those sensitive to it should avoid strenuous activity outdoors (which you would anyway due to the heat). Look for highs in the upper 90s today and mid to upper 90s for the rest of the week. We may finally see scattered storms late this week.
