Unfortunately, the heat continues to persist here on the Gulf Coast. However, there may be a little relief in sight next week. For now, we are expecting dangerous heat today and possibly on Sunday. Heat index values for Saturday will be highest in the western parts of our area, with some areas potentially reaching a heat index of 115 degrees. An excessive heat warning has been issued for parts of the area today.
Looking ahead to Sunday, hot weather will continue, but some inland areas may see a cooling shower. Rain chances this weekend are low, but not zero. The forecast leading up to Independence Day looks to settle into a more typical summertime pattern, with increased rain chances and temperatures reaching the low 90s. Heat index values will be in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees during the hottest part of the day.
Heat can be extremely dangerous, so it’s important to take care of yourself and others during an extended heat wave. To prepare, drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous outdoor activity, take frequent breaks, find shade, and seek air conditioning. Additionally, check on your relatives and neighbors.
