RICHMOND, Va. -- Heat advisories remain in effect for much of the Mid-Atlantic region as temperatures continue to soar into the mid-90s with heat indices reaching triple digits.

The summer sizzle will persist for several more days with temperatures consistently reaching the 90s and heat indices climbing above 105, especially in central Virginia.

Highs will be in the mid 90s Tuesday, and in the mid to upper 90s on Wednesday. Heat advisories are likely each day with a heat index exceeding 105°.

A strong cold front will move through the region Thursday into Friday with showers and thunderstorms. Heavy rain will be possible once again.

Behind this front, it will be much a bit "cooler" and less humid next weekend. Highs will be in the low 80s, and lows will mostly be in the low to mid 60s.
