Oppressive Heat Today…

Synopsis:

The heatwave will continue as a Bermuda high dominates our area. It will be an oppressive day with high heat and humidity. The heat index, the way it actually feels with the temperature and humidity combined will reach between 100º-100º today and Friday.

Please listen to your body. If you feel weak or disorientated take a break. Stay in a cool environment, if possible and drink plenty of water.

A cool front will approach on Saturday. This will bring relief from the oppressive conditions. At this time a few showers are possible. It will not be a washout.

By Sunday, true relief will arrive with readings just below the average high of the mid 80s and much lower humidity as Canadian high pressure get our applause. Sunday will by far be the better half of the weekend. Abundant sunshine is expected.

Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.

Stay tuned.
