Good morning! The dangerous, relentless heat and humidity continues. The heat Index will be in the triple digit range through the weekend and beyond.   Radar will be quite active, again today.  Like yesterday, there will be locally heavy tropical downpours. The number of storms will start to thin out in number over the weekend. Otherwise, expect little day to day change through the middle of next week.  Here’s my brief forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Sun/cloud mix.  High near 95.  Heat index100-105. Random Scattered to numerous PM showers & Storms.  Locally heavy tropical downpours. Low tonight 75.

FUTURE RADAR:   Radar will be quite active again today.  Scattered heavy tropical downpours.

NEXT FEW DAYS.  Storms will thin out in number over the weekend.  Meanwhile, highs in the low to mid 90’s, will lead  to more triple digit heat indices.  Lows at night will continue in the muggy mid 70’s.  Very little day to day change.

Heaviest rain will be along the Gulf coast and in Florida.

The heat index will continue in the triple digits.
