Hot & humid weather on the way

The hot and steamy weather that has been baking the southern and central US will begin to move northeast into the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley's towards the end of the week. A warm front will lift north of the region on Wednesday with showers, and behind that front temperatures and humidity will be on the rise right into next week. I expect high temperatures close to 29C with humidex reading pushing 36C. There will also be the risk of thunderstorms especially on the weekend.

The warm and humid air has been sparking thunderstorms across the southern plains. Some locations in Oklahoma reported nearly 10 inches of rain yesterday producing rapid and severe flash floods. A sate of emergency has been declared in at least 59 counties.
