FORECAST:

  • The heat slowly starts to build up today and then takes off as we head to the holiday weekend.
  • Highs in the lower 90s this afternoon will feel like the upper 90s with the heat index.
  • Storm chances are dropping off with the best chances confined to the mountains to the west.
  • Temps then soar into the upper 90s by midweek with heat index values above 100° through the weekend.
  • We are getting into dangerous heat by the Fourth as we challenge record highs around 100 (heat index could eclipse 105°!)
  • Some minor relief looks to get here by the end of the weekend.
