Heat will dominant through the weekend. Look for highs both Saturday and Sunday in the low/mid 100s with heat index values over 105F to possible exceeding 110F.
A weak front will approach Sunday giving us a slight chance for a few isolated storms with a lingering chance for a few pop-up storms on Monday. Strongest storms may contain strong wind gusts. While a significant temperature drop is not expected, our 100-degree streak may end Monday. The heat will likely build back Tuesday and Wednesday, but models hinting at another cool down for the second half of next week with a slight chance of storms.
Remember to practice heat safety with all the dangerous heat. Stay hydrated and try to stay indoors during the afternoon hours when heat is at its highest.
