Heat expected to continue Wednesday

Posted Jul 31, 2024 7:00 AM

Highest temperatures from 98° to 106° with peak heat indices ranging from 105° to 114°. for the entire forecast area. Wednesday is the hottest remaining day for the entire area. 

Hot temperatures combined with the humidity can cause heat illness for those overexposed to the heat.

Thunderstorms are forecast (30-60%) to develop and move southeast across the area.

○ Some of these storms could reach severe thresholds, with strong winds of 60 to 70 MPH and hail up to 1” in diameter being the main hazards.

This is possible for the entire area during the late afternoon and evening hours north central and northeast (5 PM - 11 PM), overnight hours east central (10 PM - 4 AM).

● Confidence: 

Medium. Storms may weaken as they move eastward, so it is uncertain how far east they will maintain themselves.
