Friday's Forecast Details

Heat Safety

The early September heat continues and shown here are the NWS headlines in effect. Even though we have seen plenty of hot and humid episodes this summer, it is important to not take this lightly and demonstrate heat safety.

A timeline look at forecast heat index values Additionally, little relief overnight due to lows only in the low to mid 70s, further adding to the heat stress.

Concerning Friday. We are confident it will still be humid and for most hot, although some uncertainty in just how hot with northeast extent on this map. That’s due to isolated/scattered thunderstorm potential in the morning. A few storms could also redevelop in the late afternoon and evening, but that’s even lower confidence right now. Bottom line, still hot and humid, and keep up to date on the forecast!

Bring water to outdoor activities with others to keep everyone hydrated. Learn more on heat safety at: https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat
