Tracking a hot Saturday with possible severe storms tonight

TODAY: Saturday is an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day for the threat of severe storms in the afternoon and overnight. For the latest detailed forecast, click here. Overall, the confidence in storm development is rather low. Isolated storms could possibly develop in the early afternoon but will be fighting against a cap of warmer air overhead. The likelihood of something becoming severe if it does develop is relatively high with plenty of moisture, instability, and even a little bit of shear. Dynamics will shift through the evening, but chances for strong storms arise around noon, and last through the midnight hour. In addition to the chance for severe weather, temperatures will climb into the mid-90s, with dewpoints reaching mid-to-upper 60s. Feels like temperatures, as a result, will climb to near 100 degrees.

TOMORROW: Storms push southeast quickly overnight into Sunday, but don't expect much relief from the heat. Highs reach near 90 in the afternoon, and a drop in moisture brings down the heat index.

EXTENDED: Temperatures will remain near 90 through much of the week, with moisture remaining lower to start. Humidity will climb into midweek as rain chances grow. Through the weekend, rain totals are expected to remain less than a quarter inch, with amounts next week still uncertain.
