Rain chances top out at 4%, so this is pure dry heat. Nights won't offer much relief either, with lows holding in the low 70s. If a pumpkin patch or porch-decorating session is on your list, the early morning is your window. And check the pavement before walking the dog: if it's too hot for your palm, it's too hot for paws. Sweater weather is on backorder. Hydrate accordingly. 🥵 **Fair warning:* we're not meteorologists! Our forecasts are pulled from public weather data as a little extra for our readers.
