It will be a very hot day today with increasing humidity as temperatures rise into the 90s and with the dew points rising to near 70 it will cause heat indexes to rise to near 100 degrees, a heat advisory is in effect.

The cold front will cross the area before daybreak on Tuesday followed by less humid air, it will still be quite warm with highs near 90.
