Relief from the heat on its way

It's not here just yet, but heat relief is on the way.  Today will be very similar to Sunday with hot, humid conditions along with a few isolated storms during the afternoon.  A cold front will cross the area Tuesday bringing a slightly better shot for showers and storms.  High pressure then works in from the north bringing cooler, much drier air for the rest of the week.  Light at the end of the tunnel.
