FORECAST:

• A heat advisory has been issued for a large portion of our area until 8 p.m.
• Temperatures are expected to soar back to the middle 90s today,
• That, combined with the humidity, will lead to heat index values hitting 105 degrees or higher.
• There is little to no chance for downpours to cool us down this afternoon.
• We keep this going tomorrow before some minor relief comes in on Thursday with lower humidity.
• Rain chances go up on Friday as an area of low pressure off the coast tries to throw deeper moisture our way.
• It does look like the best shot for steady rain does stay off to our east, though.
• More heat and steam are likely heading into the weekend.
