Temperatures warm to almost 10 degrees above normal for much of the area Thursday. Afternoon humidity stays low, so Heat Index will be at or below the actual temperature.
Newly formed Tropical Storm Isaias continues to organize over the southwest Gulf.
Isaias is forecast to become a hurricane before making landfall across the Deep South late in the week.
Although the center of Isaias is currently forecast to pass well to our west, tropical moisture is likely to impact the area this weekend, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall to the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia.
