Heat Peaks Friday. Heat Index 100º+ In Spots

 

Synopsis:

Heat and humidity will be with us through Saturday as a bubble of hot air remains in place around a Western Atlantic high pressure system.

The heat will peak today. Skies will be mostly sunny. The heat index will around 100º in urban regions. An isolated late day storm is possible but most areas will remain storm-free.

Saturday will be steamy with hazy sun. Scattered afternoon storms are likely with an approaching cool front. The best chance for widespread storms looks to be later in the evening and at night.

The front looks to stall in the vicinity on Sunday resulting in spotty showers or storms. At this time it doesn’t look like a washout.

Monday and Tuesday will be decent with seasonal temperatures and lower humidity.

Stay tuned.
