FORECAST:

• Temperatures won’t be much warmer than yesterday, but with the higher steam coming in, it will feel hotter.
• Heat index values are expected to climb to the low to mid-90s. Storm chances mostly stay confined to the mountains and foothills through the afternoon.
• Some of these may make a run at the metro into the evening. Heavy downpours and strong winds are the main threats.
• These storms should move closer to the metro tomorrow afternoon and evening.
• It could feel even hotter this weekend as even more humidity builds in. Heat index values climb to the mid to upper 90s on both days.
• Drier and more comfortable weather is heading our way throughout next week.
