GENERAL OUTLOOK
Oppressive heat and humidity continue into the first part of the new workweek, with dangerous heat index expected each afternoon through Wednesday. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be isolated to widely scattered, except in the North Carolina mountains, where coverage will be better. A cold front will finally arrive late in the week, boosting afternoon shower and storm coverage beginning Thursday, as well as ushering in much-needed relief from the heat.
