Heat, Strong Storms Possible Today

A HEAT ADVISORY is still in effect until 7 PM tonight. Temperatures will hit the mid to upper 90s, with heat indices as high as 105.


A cold front sliding into the area from the north will start to bring change to the forecast, though. Cloud cover will increase during the day and storms will begin firing along the front in the north this afternoon. Some of these storms could be strong to severe. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threat, but heavy rain and frequent lightning are also possible.




After a few scattered storms overnight, a second round of rain will develop in the south tomorrow afternoon. Overnight lows will drop back into the mid 70s, with highs tomorrow in the low 90s.


We'll clear things out on Friday for the coolest day of the week. Still, highs will hit the upper 80s and low 90s through Saturday. Sunshine and southerly winds team up for Sunday and Monday to drive temperatures into the mid 90s. An upper level disturbance for the middle of next week will increase cloud cover and keep temperatures in the low 90s through the end of next week.
