The heat intensifies Monday as sunshine returns and temperatures climb to around 95 degrees. When humidity is factored in, it could feel as hot as 102 degrees during the afternoon. Monday night will remain mostly clear with temperatures only falling to around 75.

The forecast changes very little through the remainder of the work week.
