The forecast for the remainder of the week shows little change, according to weather officials. Temperatures will gradually rise each day, reaching normal levels by Wednesday and climbing 3 to 5 degrees above normal by Friday.

Humidity levels are expected to increase starting Thursday, which will lead to higher heat indices. Winds are forecast to pick up Thursday and Friday, potentially providing some relief from the heat.

Additionally, scattered afternoon thunderstorms could produce outflows that offer localized cooling. Authorities advise residents to stay hydrated and monitor forecast updates throughout the week.
