According to NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Iisha Scott, the region will see high temperatures climb into the upper-80s, marking a substantial increase from the mid-80-degree temperatures on Friday afternoon.Following a seasonable day on Friday, temperatures and humid conditions are slated to build throughout the weekend and beyond, sending heat index values to nearly 105 degrees.
According to NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Iisha Scott, the region will see high temperatures climb into the upper 80s, marking a substantial increase from the mid-80-degree temperatures on Friday afternoon.While a similar pattern is slated to continue in the following days, multiple chances of showers and storms are possible before that happens. Isolated showers or storms could arrive late Saturday afternoon into the early evening, Scott said.
The best chance for rain, however, will be Saturday night into early Sunday morning - through roughly 7 a.m. After that, we'll be in the clear in regard to precipitation, though the heat could put a damper on your outdoor plans. While Monday is expected to be the hottest, the National Weather Service, writing in a social media post, urged people to take the necessary precautions a few days early.
Hot and humid conditions build through the weekend and into next week. There is a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon into early Sunday morning."Given the relative lack of heat and humidity for our area in July and August, especially recently, we will be less acclimated to these conditions than we normally would be in late August," the NWS said on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.
