WASHINGTON - A very hot day ahead Tuesday across the Washington, D.C. region with humid conditions and highs near 95 degrees.
The temperature makes this the hottest May day in over a decade since May 2011. The summer of 2011 went on to be one of the hottest in D.C. history.
Relief is on the way later this week, but we could have to watch out for some strong thunderstorms first.
