Practice Heat Safety This Weekend

Extreme Heat Warning Through Today

Thunderstorm Outlook Today/Tonight

Five Day Outlook

It's going to continue to be hot and sunny through today. Make sure to take heat related precautions! Drink plenty of water, apply sunscreen every two hours, wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing, and take regular breaks in the shade or A/C.

Extreme heat is expected to continue across the region through today. Maximum heat index values are expected to be around 100 to 110. Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through this evening.

Thunderstorms will be possible across portions of the area this afternoon and evening. A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible with damaging wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall the main risk. There are still questions on the exact coverage and timing of the storms, and not all locations could be impacted.

After a hot day today, we'll see a brief relief from the heat on Monday before temperatures start to climb again. Expect periodic chances for showers and thunderstorms, though coverage may be limited.
