Inside Scott: Monday Edition
Good morning, Scott County! Welcome to a brand new work week! And what a fantastic work week it should be, at least from a weather standpoint.

Weather
☀️ An absolutely gorgeous — but increasingly hot — week is on tap.
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 6:17/8:57 • Records: 90° (2011), 37° (1977) • YTD Rainfall: 30.8” (Normal: 27.7”).
Details: We’ll start the week with sunny weather and temperatures only in the mid to upper 70s, which is quite nice for this time of year. We’ll drop into the lower 50s at night, and some outlying areas could flirt with temperatures in the 40s tonight and tomorrow night! A warming trend will kick in Wednesday, however, and we should push 90° for the first time this summer by the end of the week. There could be just a slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm along the way, but for the most part the weather looks quite nice due to a dip in the jet stream that will result in major rainfall in Florida and parts of the Gulf Coast but will sweep that activity out to sea and prevent gulf moisture from streaming northward into our area.
Further Out: If we don’t hit 90° Friday or Saturday we may get there Sunday, and the hot temperatures aren’t going away anytime soon. Next week looks hot, as well, with a slightly better chance of those daily isolated to scattered thunderstorms that we typically see during the summer months.
