Good Morning! Yesterday was the hottest day of the year with 101 at MGM (Record 102), Heat index peaked at 103. Expect another hot day. The mercury will tease 100, with a Heat Index near 104. Big Heat can produce Big storms. Random showers and storms will return to the radar. Some storms could be strong, possibly severe especially west of I-65.

Expect triple digit heat indices each day. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
