When Will Heat Wave End?

The worst part of this oppressive heat wave? No nighttime summer breezes to bring relief. No cool down whatsoever. So, when will this heat wave end?

The forecast, my friends, shows we’re stuck in this stiflingly hot, humid weather pattern until sometime Saturday when the break will come from severe and potentially damaging thunderstorms. By Sunday, it should be over; the forecast calls for a high of 81.
