Heat advisory: Intense heat and humidity continue
• This morning is warm with temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
• Today will be very hot, with high temperatures in the upper 90s. Feels like temperatures will range from 103-110F, prompting a Heat Advisory for our entire area.
• Rain coverage today will be isolated and confined east of Highway 301, but any storms that do develop will contain brief heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.
o Timing: 5 - 7 pm
• Highs will remain in the upper 90s through the first half of the weekend, with feels like temperatures in the 100s.
• Very high heat risk through Saturday, meaning heat exhaustion/heat stroke becomes much more likely for those who don't follow heat safety guidelines (water, A/C, shade, etc.)
• Higher chances of rain return by next week, dropping daytime temperatures.
TROPICS:
• No areas of concern.
