Good morning! There is somewhat better news for today, in that the humidity will not be as high as yesterday. So, no heat advisory today, and radar should be quiet. No storms.
All of that will change on Sunday, though. The humidity will make a big comeback and there could be a few strong to severe storms in the afternoon & evening. The heat index will rise above the 105 danger level again.
No doubt about it, the week ahead will be very hot and we’ll be close to Heat Advisory criteria for much of the week. Scattered storms.
