The heat is set to continue, but there seems to be some help on the way. Models are showing Saharan dust is set to depart midweek as high-pressure backs away into the Western Atlantic Ocean allowing an ocean breeze to return. This will help bring temperatures closer to average, but draw in more moisture. Therefore, a typical Summer pattern will be pressure with passing morning showers and afternoon sea breeze inland storms returning to the forecast.

Long-lived Don should lose tropical characteristics today as it is moving into cooler waters (70s).
