FORECAST:

  • We start to feel more of the big heat today as temps jump into the mid 90s this afternoon.
  • Heat index values also climb, likely hitting above 100°.
  • Even hotter Thursday through the Fourth of July with near record highs.
  • We’re expecting triple-digit air temps for the holiday, but a small drop in the humidity may be able to keep the heat index from getting too high.
  • It’s very hot either way with no relief until Sunday.
  • Storm chances increase heading into next week.
