By Tuesday and Wednesday another front from Canada will be close enough for scattered afternoon thunderstorms, making temperatures just a little bit less intense.
The heat wave may not break until Wednesday, when a cold front moves through and drops temperatures back to seasonable levels – in the upper 70s and low 80s – as seen in our First Alert 10-Day forecast.
