After a pleasant weekend, Mother Nature has decided it's time to make us sweat again. August kicks into full gear today as highs will surge up to - and possibly past - 90 degrees again while the humidity thickens with only a light southwest breeze to cool us down. You know, like standing in front of a furnace. Overnight lows will only fall into the lower 70s as the mugginess continues overnight. While the sun will shine down today, though, look for more rain possible overnight and into tomorrow. Because if there's one thing we've been short on recently, it's heat and rain. Ah, Summer, it's good to have you back this year.
