...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TODAY AND AGAIN TUESDAY...

A BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE STRENGTHENING AND BUILDING 
OVER THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. HUMIDITY LEVELS HAVE ALREADY

EFFECT OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY MEANS THAT THE HEAT INDEX SHOULD 
RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S. SOME RELIEF TO THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY 
COULD COME AS EARLY AS LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS SCATTERED 
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. 

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TUESDAY NIGHT AS A
