Another day with extreme heat will dominate the weather forecast as highs reach close to 100 degrees. Heat index values will reach 105 degrees or higher when you combine the temperature and humidity levels that will be near tropical. Make sure you have a way to cool off and stay inside if you can with A/C and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
After 5pm there is a risk of severe thunderstorms, almost a carbon copy to Friday when storms rolled through with damaging wind gusts in portions of the state. Seek shelter right away if you hear thunder; lightning can strike as far away as 10 miles, stay safe! Damaging winds up to 60 miles per hour can also be a danger, flying umbrellas, falling tree branches/small trees are possible with these storms. The threat subsides after 9pm or so, but any fireworks displays may have a difficult time occurring.
The heat breaks on Sunday with highs back in the upper 80s, so still hot, but not extreme. Another round of storms possible Sunday afternoon before heavy rain rolls in on Monday. It looks to be a wet start to the upcoming week, but we do need the rain. Stay with News12 for updates!
