FORECAST:

• Today is the day that we see the bigger heat return. Highs jump to the mid-90s this afternoon, but heat index values could exceed 100 degrees.
• We don’t expect nearly as many storms to pop up today, but anything that can develop would be strong to severe with a damaging wind threat.
• We may also see a bigger storm complex push into the mountains late tonight. Even higher heat is the story as we head through the rest of the week.
• Highs will be in the mid-to-upper 90s tomorrow and Friday. Better storm chances are expected to come in on Saturday.
