Today's comfy temps are on their way out, with much hotter, more humid and stormy days rounding out the rest of this week. Today's high should be under 80, but temps will be topping out the rest of this week closer to 90, which is more typical of this time of year. So far we've only had one 90-degree day in 2008—on average, we have five such days by this date—but a particularly warm average temp for June, making this the 35th hottest June since 1871.
