Hot and humid....Get ready! We're tracking hot, humid weather for the rest of the work week. On Thursday and Friday, high temperatures will soar into the low and mid 90s, but because of the humidity, it will feel a lot hotter. In fact, a few areas will have heat index values in the triple digits! So take your precautions. A few pop up showers and storms are possible under partly cloudy skies on both days.
Slightly higher rain chances move in for the weekend as a cold front approaches. Highs on Saturday will be in the lower 90s. By Sunday, we'll be in the mid 80s. More showers and thunderstorms are possible next week.
