Partly cloudy and hot afternoon for Friday before storm chances return
What We’re Tracking
- Showers and storms early
- Hot, sunny for Friday
- Friday night storms cool the weekend down
We're seeing a few passing showers and storms this morning. Most of the northern counties seeing thunderstorms while the southern half is just seeing light rainfall. Temperatures have remained fairly mild through the night as we start off in the 60s.
The heat returns later this afternoon as highs top out in the middle 90s with a heat index well above 100°. There is a chance for a few strong to severe storms later this afternoon and overnight along a front, we should cool back for the weekend. Highs in the 80s for both Saturday and Sunday.
After the weekend break from the heat, temperatures ramp back up. Highs by Tuesday of next week soar near 100° yet again so enjoy the weekend of cooler temperatures. We're still eyeing a front that might try to move toward the area with a few storms by the middle of next week.
