Cooler temperatures will arrive early next week. Lower humidities will accompany below average temperatures to begin next week.

High temperatures reached the lower 90s again today. Officially we reached 91 degrees. Our string of 90 degree days has now reached 4 days. A fifth day of heat is possible before cooler air flows into the state on Sunday.

Today marks the second consecutive day with temperatures at 90 degrees.

Temperatures will have a chance to reach 90 degrees or warmer the next three days as well. So, our streak of 90 degree days may reach 5 days.

In the summer of 1983, we recorded 58 days with temperatures at or above 90 degrees. We had two long stretches of 90 degree days. In July of 1983, there were 14 consecutive days of 90s. In August, we had a stretch of 13 straight days.

Thunderstorms may provide temporary relief  Thursday. Real temperature relief will arrive early next week.
