Tracking a comfortable afternoon before dangerous heat into the weekend

TODAY: Skies remain partly cloudy. Winds will shift from east to south through the day today as highs climb into the mid to upper 80s..

TONIGHT: Temperatures will be a bit warmer overnight, with lows expected in the 70s and upper 60s.

EXTENDED: Friday will be a warmer day, with highs in the low 90s. Saturday brings even more heat and more humidity. We'll likely feel like near 100 on Friday, while heat indexes are close to 102-105 on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Saturday and Sunday are ABC17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Days. Our next chance for rain is an isolated pop up storm or two on Monday, but better chances at scattered storms comes along a cold front on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Timing is uncertain, but sometime in that window, an upper level wave will bring a more active pattern early next week. This will likely bring a break from the heat.
