Heat indexes are still expected to climb into the 95 to 110 degree range on Sunday, with the warmest readings along and south of I-70. Make sure to drink plenty of water and take plenty of breaks in the shade if you are going to be outdoors on Sunday.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to redevelop late this afternoon and last through the evening hours. A few of these storms may be strong to severe between roughly 4 and 10 PM. Damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall are the main threats, along with the possibility of a brief, weak tornado or two.
Good news for everyone sick and tired of the heat and humidity. It does look a lot better next week, with temperature (and humidity) levels closer to normal. Another cold front on Wednesday should even bring BELOW normal temperatures to the region Thursday and Friday.
