Today's daily digit — 9/10: This sunny, dry day is so welcome! It's not a 10 because Tuesday will be even better. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Monday): It's still somewhat muggy early but the humidity will become less noticeable as the day wears on. Any morning clouds quickly give way to mostly sunny skies as temperatures rise through the 70s. Afternoon highs reach the low to mid-80s, with light winds from the north at 5 to 10 mph. There is the possibility of a little light haze from wildfire smoke working into the area during the afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day!
Tonight: A very pleasant evening as temperatures fall back into the 70s. Overnight, it's mostly clear and cooler than it's been since mid-June, with lows ranging from the upper 50s in our cooler spots to the mid- to upper 60s downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow (Tuesday): This will probably bet nicest day in about a month. Expect beautiful sunshine, low humidity (dew points from 55 to 60) and enjoyable afternoon highs from 80 to 85. Light winds from the northeast at around 5 mph. Confidence: High 😎 Nice Day!
Tomorrow night: Mostly clear with comfortable 70s during the evening and lows ranging through the 60s toward dawn. Confidence: High
A look ahead
Temperatures and humidity slowly ramp up Wednesday and Thursday — but it should stay rain-free. Lots of sunshine both days with highs in the mid-80s on Wednesday and into the upper 80s and low 90s on Thursday. Humidity starts to become more noticeable on Wednesday (dew points in the mid-60s) and it will be hard to miss by Thursday (dew points near 70). The nights also become increasingly muggy with lows from 65 to 70 Wednesday night and from 70 to 75 on Thursday night. Confidence: Medium-High
We're back in the thick of the humidity Friday into the weekend (dew points in the low to mid-70s) and it's also potentially quite hot. Friday may be the hottest day with highs in the mid- to upper 90s, with heat indexes over 100. Highs may step back into the low to mid-90s on Saturday and Sunday because of more clouds. Showers and thunderstorms could develop in the late afternoon and evening on any of the days, but particularly over the weekend. The nights are partly cloudy and muggy, with lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium

Bryan Norcross: Atlantic tropical disturbance Invest 94L showing some signs of life

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Updated at 9 a.m. ET Monday, July 21, 2025 The disturbance we've been following in the tropical Atlantic has perked up a little. The National Hurricane Center has tagged it Invest 94L. They still have its odds of developing into at least a tropical depression in the low category, but they've increased them slightly. The atmospheric conditions immediately ahead are reasonably conducive to tropical development. They would be very conducive if there wasn't so much dry air nearby. Saharan dust blankets the ocean just north of and around the disturbance. The system's best chance of developing is tonight. By late tomorrow, as the disturbance is approaching the Caribbean, the upper-level winds will increase, and no further development is expected. Most likely, the system will move across the islands as a gusty moisture surge late tomorrow or Wednesday. In the meantime, however, it could organize enough to be designated a tropical depression, with a very slight chance that it briefly becomes Tropical Storm Dexter. Invest 94L is the first in a series of robust disturbances moving off Africa. Saharan dust plumes are still thick, but gaps are allowing some thunderstorms to develop within the clusters of moisture. On average, Saharan dust begins to wane late in July, although its schedule varies year to year. Some long-range computer forecasts indicate that the next systems in the wave train moving across the Atlantic will be a little more robust than we have seen. This is expected, of course, with August right around the corner. Just like the week before last, a front is going to die out across North Florida in a few days. A low-pressure area is forecast to develop along the old front and track west across the northern Gulf. There is no sign of tropical development at this point, but we'll keep an eye on it. In any case, it will bring another round of heavy rain to the Gulf Coast and the Florida Peninsula. On average, this part of July is slow in the tropics, so nothing unusual is going on. The traditional start of the busy part of the hurricane season is Aug. 20. There's no reason to think that this season isn't going to ramp up on schedule.

Why ‘corn sweat' will make this week's heat wave even worse
Another crushing heat wave is hitting the United States this week. The so-called 'dog days of summer' are in full swing for much of the eastern two-thirds of the U.S., as a heat dome over the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys gradually builds over the eastern U.S. later in the week, according to the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). One unlikely culprit for the high humidity, especially in the Midwest, is 'corn sweat.' What is corn sweat? 'Corn sweat' is the term used to explain how corn, like other plants, excretes water vapor through its leaves via a process called evapotranspiration, which increases humidity in regions where corn is grown during the summer; namely, the Corn Belt, which stretches from North and South Dakota east to Ohio, including Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, according to The Washington Post. Where is the heat wave? Nearly 60 million Americans are under heat-related warnings, watches, and advisories this week with oppressive heat forecast across the Central Plains, Midwest, and deep South, according to the WPC. What is the weather forecast this week? Heat indices from the Central Plains to the Southeast are predicted to range between 100 and 110 degrees each day, with localized readings potentially reaching 115 degrees. The National Weather Service's HeatRisk, which ranks heat-related risks on a map, forecasts its most extreme heat level for the Deep South and lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, with a major heat risk across the Midwest through Wednesday. Extreme heat warnings are also in place for parts of the Central Plains and lower to mid-Mississippi Valley, along with extreme heat watches across the Midwest, including the majority of the Chicago area. Meanwhile, heat advisories encompass much of the Deep South and northern Florida. That ' dangerous, long lasting heat ' is expected to persist the longest over the mid-Mississippi Valley and mid-South regions from Tuesday through Thursday, when the heat is expected to be the most intense and widespread, with heat waves that last multiple days in a row with little to no relief. Meanwhile, temperatures into the upper 90s will be high enough to set some local daily records in the Southeast for late July. As if that weren't enough, thunderstorms could also pose a flash flood threat in portions of the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast, with severe storms likely in the Northern Plains and Midwest. The Northeast, which should have comfortable temperatures in the 80s in the first half of the week, is forecast to hit 97 to 98 degrees on Friday, in a number of cities including Boston and New York.

Afternoon rain and storms across Denver with cooler weather on the way
Monsoon moisture will begin lifting north on Tuesday afternoon, bringing a chance for rain and storms across the Denver metro area by mid- to late afternoon. The wet weather is forecast to stick around through Thursday. Rain chances fire up in the mountains by the afternoon on Tuesday, before moving down into the Denver area by the late afternoon. While the risk for severe weather across Denver is low, there is the potential to see some heavy rain with some of these slower-moving showers late Tuesday. The Eastern Plains are under a Level 1-Marginal risk for some scattered severe storms this afternoon. Damaging winds and heavy rain are possible with some of the stronger storms that could linger late into Tuesday. By Wednesday, more rain and storms are possible, bringing the threat for severe weather to the Denver metro and urban corridor into Northern Colorado. Some of Wednesday's stronger storms could produce those damaging wind gusts, as well as large hail. Temperatures will stay hot on Tuesday, warming into the low 90s, but cooler weather is headed in on Wednesday and Thursday. It's a short-lived trip to the 80s. By Friday, high pressure builds back, and things heat up and dry out heading into the weekend.
