Share and Follow

We’re tracking hot and humid weather over the weekend as highs both today and tomorrow reach the low to mid 90s and heat index values reach the triple digits. This heat will allow extra energy and strength to fuel incoming storms. 

Saturday looks to remain mainly dry throughout the day up until midafternoon through the evening when storms are likely to develop. There is a risk for isolated severe storms south of I-16 and scattered severe storms north of I-16 today. The main threats include damaging straight-line wind and heavy rain embedded within the storms. A dry period of weather moves in overnight, but storms ramp right back up late morning to early afternoon tomorrow. All of the viewing area sees a possibility of scattered severe storms tomorrow with the threats remaining the same with damaging straight-line winds and heavy rain. Because of the severe storm threat this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday areĀ Weather Aware Days

The storm chances do not look to be going anywhere as we continue to see fronts stall around us all week allowing for scattered storms to continue. Monday has already been put under a medium risk of seeing scattered severe storms. Monday will also be aĀ Weather Aware DayĀ with threats including gusty winds and heavy rain.Ā It is possible that this severe storm risk will continue this upcoming work week as temperatures stay in the 90s and heat index values stay in or very close to the triple digits allowing extra energy to fuel storms.Ā
