Dangerous Heat Through Friday Evening

Dangerous heat will be with us through Friday evening. A heat advisory will remain in effect through 9 pm Friday. The combination of high temperatures, high amounts of moisture in the air (humidity), and the lack of much of a breeze will make for a dangerous heatwave through Friday evening.

Make sure to remember to hydrate and take plenty of breaks when outside. If you wait until you feel thirsty, you have waited to long, so make sure to get plenty of clear liquids.

In short, they will put down very heavy rain in short order hyper-locally, some locations will easily pick up between 1-3 inches of rain. But I want to emphasis this will be hyperlocal not everyone will receive rain today!

Another hot day again tomorrow as we stay under the heat dome of high pressure over the region. We will finally see some relief into the weekend, but not much. We’ll finally return to lower 90s in most areas and rain chances will climb to around 30% on Saturday to around 40% on Sunday. Better rain chances will arrive next Monday. Long range forecast trends are indicating we could actually see some upper 80s for a change into parts of next week! Stay with the WBBJ 7 Storm Team for the latest on the heat situation as well as how much rain we may get late week.
