We can expect some truly disgusting weather today in the coal region. Even fans of the heat truly can’t be fans of what we’re in for on Tuesday.
High temps will reach into the mid-90s and join forces with some awfully muggy air in the process.
There’s a slight break in this heat on tap for Thursday but then the heat returns for this weekend and into next week again.
