The next few days may bring the most humid weather D.C. has seen all summer.
Stifling heat moved into the region Thursday. With the heat index, it could feel like 105 degrees or hotter.
A heat advisory has been issued for the D.C. area until 8 p.m. Thursday. The heat advisory likely will stick around through the weekend.
"It's going to be an ugly shade of humid today and all the way through this coming weekend," Storm Team4 meteorologist Chuck Bell said.
The high temperatures may affect your commute.
Due to the high track temperatures, Metro trains are operating under a 35-mph speed restriction at all above-ground stations, Metro said Thursday. System-wide delays are possible.
