Showers and Storms in the East; Dangerously Hot and Dry in the West

Scattered showers and storms are expected across portions of the Central and Eastern U.S. through the end of the week.

Heat and humidity is expected to increase as we head into the weekend, with temperatures in the 90s and potential for triple digit heat indices. With additional chances for storms through Saturday night, some uncertainty in the temperature forecast remains.
There are slight chances of storms through Saturday night, mainly north of U.S. Highway 36. After a mostly dry early start to next week, storm chances increase during the middle to latter parts of next week.
There is a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather on both Friday and Saturday, especially for areas north of US-36. Confidence in the severe threat remains low, but some storms could be capable of strong winds and heavy rainfall.
