Daily Forecast for Monday, August 19th, 2019

It’s already the first day of the new school year for some students across the state, and it will be blazing hot! Highs in the 80s and 90s will be common with heat indexes over 100 in much of the eastern half of the state due to high dew points. It will soon be over though, as in a month from now we will be watching the first colors of fall come out in the mountains!
