DAY ONE
Today and Tonight. Weather hazards expected
Significant extreme heat risk. DISCUSSION
Heat index values around 105 to 110 degrees will occur across the area again this afternoon into early this evening. Limited relief will occur during the overnight hours as lows only cool into the middle 70s to the lower 80s. There is a low chance (less than 15 percent) for an isolated thunderstorm north of Highway 54 this afternoon and evening. Most if not all locations should remain dry today as chances and coverage if storms develop are low.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
Saturday through Thursday. Heat index values around 105 to 110 degrees will persist across the area this weekend. Longevity of extreme heat with limited relief during the night will elevate the heat risk and potential impacts. There is a low chance (less than 20 percent) for an isolated thunderstorm north of Highway 54 Saturday afternoon and evening. Most if not all locations should remain dry on Saturday as chances and coverage if storms develop are low. Extensive periods of hot temperatures, somewhat dry air, and a bit of breezy winds may lead to quick drying of fuels and locally elevated fire weather. Shower and thunderstorm chances (20 to 50 percent) will occur across portions of the area Sunday night into Monday morning. Gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall will be possible. Additional rain chances (10-30 percent), will return late next week.
