When you step outside in San Diego Tuesday you may think you've been transported to Florida.
Hot and humid weather will move from the east to the San Diego coastline bringing thick, muggy air with it.
Residents in our local mountains should be aware of a National Weather Service excessive heat warning issued Tuesday through 8 p.m. The NWS anticipates high temperatures of 88 to 102 below the 5500-foot level.
There is potential for a thunderstorm in some parts of the county and there may be some dry lightning as well according to NBC 7 Meteorologist Jodi Kodesh.
“Our East County will get very hot, very humid today,” Kodesh said. “It’s going to feel like the mid-90s to you.”
Borrego Springs and other desert communities will see dangerous heat levels with the forecast calling for 112 degrees.
