Dangerous Heat
If you thought Wednesday was hot, Thursday will be a swelter. Expect morning lows in the upper 70s and lower 80s, but the 'feels like' temps will already be in the 90s. By the afternoon, high humidity and warmer-than-normal temperatures will catapult 'feel like' temps to the low to mid 110s. Extreme Heat Warning in effect 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please be sure to stay hydrated! Check in on kids, pets, and the elderly; these folks are more prone to heat-related illness. Temperatures will improve by Fridya and outside of a few showers on Friday, the weather should be calm over the next few days.
