Heat Index

DANGEROUS HEAT STARTS: The end of the week and the weekend brings some of the hottest temperatures so far this summer season! It all starts today! It’s a warm and stuffy start, with temperatures beginning in the upper 60s to middle 70s. Plenty of toasty sunshine helps spike temperatures fast throughout the day! Readings reach the middle to upper 90s! With soupy conditions in place, expect heat indices near 105 to 110 degrees! Most of the day is dry for most locations, however there’s a small chance for an evening shower or thunderstorm to the far north and northwest. There’s an even smaller chance for a heavy downpour there or some strong wind gusts. The rest of the night is dry, warm and soupy. Expect lows in the middle to upper 70s.
