Excessive heat warning in effect this weekend

After several days with showers that kept our temperatures close to normal, excessive heat warnings return to the weather report.

Those warnings will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, as high temperatures approach 94° and heat indices top out near 112°. Rain chances on both days are lower than what we've had the last few days, diminishing chances of heat relief. However, with a 30-percent chance of rain in the metro area, some of you may see pop-up showers.

Next week, your usual July weather will impact the area. Expect lots of heat, humidity, and the occasional shower or storm. High temperatures will be in the low- to mid-90s with indices well into the triple digits. Rain chances will increase in the back end of the week because of a front that's expected to push into the region.
