Daily Afternoon Storm (Severe?) Chances, Extreme Heat Warning thru Friday

In addition to our dangerous heat, we have a threat of severe weather to watch for this afternoon and evening.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a 30% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 5% chance of hail within 25 miles. No tornado concerns. The main thing we’ll be watching for will be the threat of microbursts. These water and wind loaded downdrafts can cause some issues. You can read more on them here: What is a Microburst? read more

Dangerous Heat This Week, Wattery Chances Return by Thursday

Our Extreme Heat Warning continues until 8p on Thursday. I could see it getting extended thru Friday.

Today thru Thursday (and probably Friday) will be the hottest days we’ve seen in some time.

Actual air temperatures near 100°, with dewpoints in the low 70s will get heat index values near 110°. Overnight lows will only be in the upper 70s, which will give us very little relief. BTW, if we do hit 100° – it will be the first time since August 19th, 2025. read more
