Today will be sunny with a high near 99F. The low temperature is expected to be near 77F. The chance of precipitation is minimal at 1%.

While the air temperature is high, the heat index values are expected to reach as high as 108F. This means the perceived temperature will be significantly higher than the thermometer reading. Winds will shift to a south direction, ranging from 5 to 10 mph.

The lack of rain and the high humidity levels will contribute to the overall discomfort throughout the day.
