HOT AND DRY WEEK AHEAD OF US{/strong}

Wednesday through Saturday brings the first hot and summer-like stretch for the Miami Valley.

Wednesday should remain below 90 but rise into the upper 80s across the entire area. Other than a few clouds during the afternoon and evening, it will remain generally sunny.

Temperatures may break 90 as soon as Thursday with 90s likely on Friday and Saturday.

Dry weather is likely through the end of the week with partly cloudy to mostly sunny conditions each day.

By the end of the week, it will have been nearly two weeks without rain, which will lead to stressed grass and some crops.

The next chance of organized rain may be Tuesday at the absolute earliest.
