Brief Relief....

Good to be back and it does not look like much has changed forecast wise.  Expect another hot one today with temperatures across the area in the lower to mid 90s.  This will be Knoxville's 8th consecutive day at or above 90 degrees.  There is a frontal boundary expected to come through the area later today, but I do not expect this to produce much in the way of precipitation.  The relief comes tomorrow as temperatures and dewpoint drop drastically.  I expect temperature in the lower to mid 80s for your Tuesday.  The rebound is quick with temperatures back in the upper 80s to lower 90s by Wednesday.  The big story is the heat wave expected to affect the area for the latter half of the week with temperatures forecasted to be in the upper 90s with some areas in the 100s.  This will be quite dangerous and if you have outdoor plans make sure you drink plenty of water and limit time outdoors.
