thunderstorm can’t be ruled out. Same goes for Thursday. High temperatures top out the lower 90s both days, with mid 90s more likely mid-week. We’ll be talking about the heat index quitea bit this week as readings could touch 100 degrees. That is what it will feel like with the humidity factored in. Storm chances are isolated but by the end of the week and into the weekend, a few more are expected during the afternoon and early evening. Heavy downpours are likely with the storms, however, most areas won’t have to worry about flooding. It remains hot in the lower 90s Friday.
WEEKEND OUTLOOK
Threat for showers and thunderstorms increases a bit into the weekend.  It is not a washout by any means but you’ll need to keep an eye to the sky. Temperatures will continue hot, touching 90 both days.
