Hot and humid!!!

High pressure is firmly in control of our weather and that means hot, humid and dry conditions at least for today and Tuesday and most likely even into Wednesday. Highs today will top out around 96 and lows for the entire week will mainly be in the 70s. Upper 90s are forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. That same area of high pressure is also keeping the Gulf free from tropical weather and that's great news as they try to containe the oil spill. I fully expect the tropics to begin heating up in the next few weeks.
