Heat and humidity are expected to persist through most of next week under a strong upper-level high pressure ridge, according to meteorologists.
Isolated thunderstorms may provide brief, localized relief from the heat, but overall conditions are expected to remain hot and humid.
Some weather models indicate a cold front could arrive late next week, potentially dropping daytime highs into the 80s. However, it is unclear if the front will reach this far south, leaving the forecast uncertain.
