Summer's First Heat Wave Has Arrived in Dundalk
Here's a look at this week's forecast, courtesy of the National Weather Service.
This week’s forecast is fairly straightforward. Sunny and hot. That’s about it. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), today marks the second day of what will be “the first heat wave of the summer,” as we haven’t seen a 95-degree day since last September.
We’ll see temperatures approaching 100 degrees by the end of the week and few clouds – which means little shade, so stay hydrated, stay covered or stay inside with the air conditioning.
Monday’s, temperatures reached the mid-90s by about 3 p.m. Skies were sunny and, according to the heat index, temperatures felt closer to 100 degrees by mid-day.
Tuesday, expect the same, with mid-90s temperatures and the same 100-degree-feeling with the heat index. Temperatures will drop to the mid-70s, and there’s no rain in Tuesday night’s forecast.
