We've been dealing with extreme heat all weekend and we aren't out of the woods yet. A cold front to start to work week brings a little relief, along with the chance of thunderstorms.

An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through 7 PM this evening as heat index values climb above 105. After it expires, it'll be replaced with a Heat Advisory through Monday.

Monday will be the final day of the current stretch of relentless heat, but a cold front tomorrow could help end the streak. A few strong to severe storms are possible, but not everyone will see rainfall. Areas east of I-65 have been included in Marginal (1 out of 5) and Slight Risk (2 out of 5). Damaging wind gusts are the main concern.

Temperatures will finally begin returning to average throughout the work week, especially towards the second half.
