Tracking a cold front set to bring storms and an end to building heat

TODAY: Starting in the mid-70s, warm temperatures will be a theme again today. Today is a Weather Alert Day as feels like temperatures reach as high as 105 today. A Heat Advisory is in place through this evening. A cold front will move in this afternoon, bringing widespread chances for storms, but it won't arrive in time to stop most from reaching extreme heat. Storms will likely arrive near noon for folks in the far north near Brunswick and Macon, and arrive near Columbia closer to 4 pm. Storms will push southeast, exiting to the south of I-44 overnight. Some strong storms may develop within this line, posing a risk for hail and strong winds.

TONIGHT: Rain will exit overnight, leaving us dry and with a north wind. Temperatures fall into the low 70s.

EXTENDED: The rain and associated wind shift leaves us feeling more mild on Thursday. Expect increasingly clear skies through the day, and a high in the upper 80s. Friday brings more sunshine as temperatures warm back into the low 90s. We warm a few degrees Saturday, but we're staying dry until Sunday, when another cold front moves in, bringing chances for rain Sunday night and Monday morning. Then things are looking dry through Tuesday.
