Extreme heat and thunderstorms

 

The humidity will surge to start Wednesday, extreme hot and humid with a heat index near 100 or higher through the end of the week. There is the potential for severe weather Wednesday afternoon and evening. There is plenty of energy to fuel severe weather, so the only quest is when and where do storms form. If the storms form west of the area the damaging wind threat is higher, if it's over the area then it's more heavy rain and hail. The storms would then organize and producer stronger wind east of the area. Have ways to get weather alerts, storms are likely 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Thursday and Friday are hotter before the heat breaks with more storms Friday night. 

Tonight: Increasing cloud cover. Low 70.

Wednesday: Hot. PM Storms. High 91.

Thursday: Sweltering, sunny. High 94.

Friday: Sweltering, Evening storms. High 96.
