Near-record heat to stick around the next few days

ATLANTA — After two days of record-breaking temperatures, Monday continued the heat streak with a near-record 94 degrees.

The record of today stands at 95 degrees, said Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan

Those hot temperatures are expected to stick around for a few more days as well.

"We've already been as hot so far this year as we have gotten all of last year," Monahan said.

TRENDING STORIES:

We're still about a month away from the official start to summer.

It will be a hot, dry evening ahead for the rest of your Memorial Day, with temps only dipping to about 82 by 11 p.m.

The strong front of high pressure that has brought record-breaking heat to north Georgia will remain stagnant across the southeast over the next few days.

There will be a bit of a change in the jet stream by the end of the week, which will allow a better chance for rain and slightly cooler temperatures.

Temperatures will remain in the mid-90s through at least Wednesday, the low 90s by Friday and then could dip into the high 80s by the weekend.
