The upper-level heat dome that broiled Texas last week expands east and clamps down this week. We're in for a late August heat wave with near-record highs. Expect sunshine with highs in the low to mid-90s Monday and Tuesday, with heat peaking in the upper 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Lexington's record highs this week range from the upper 90s to low triple digits. A cold front will spark scattered showers and storms Friday night into Saturday and take the edge off of the heat this weekend.
