OVERVIEW:
Not a comfortable rest of this July week here in Kentuckiana. We are very hot and muggy going into the next few days with heat index values in the 95-105 degree range. The main concerns from our weather will be excessive afternoon heating and thunderstorms that can produce gusty winds. A couple rounds of strong storms will be possible through Friday - be ready to go inside and seek shelter if a warning is issued.
TOMORROW:
We might have some strongly desired dry time in the afternoon - although it will be warm and very humid. Storm chances increasing into the evening and overnight. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe storms for the majority of our viewing area.
FRIDAY:
Friday will likely be the stickiest and hottest day of the week with heat index values getting up to 100-105. Scattered storms starting early morning and possible throughout the day into the late evening.
Here's a glimpse at FutureCast Friday morning 6:30AM:
BEAT THE HEAT.......CHECK THE BACKSEAT
AT LAST.....RELIEF FOR THE WEEKEND! :)
If you've been wanting to spend time outside without sweating as soon as you walk out the front door, Saturday and Sunday are the days to do it!
We will get a break from the oppressive heat and humidity going into Saturday and Sunday. Partly sunny with highs in the upper 80's.
