Tracking steamy conditions with rain chances this weekend

TODAY: Scattered showers and storms redevelop this afternoon, mostly south of I-70. Under rain today, highs could be as cool as the 70s, but those who stay dry will be in the mid-to-upper 80s. Heavy humidity contributes to a heat index in the 90s in the hottest areas.

TONIGHT: Storms die down overnight as we lose daytime heat, but clouds will linger with lows in the upper 60s and low 70s.

EXTENDED: Isolated storms are again possible on Saturday, providing some respite from the heat, but many will still experience hot temperatures and high humidity, with a heat index near 100. More widespread rain is expected on Sunday, offering a welcome break from the oppressive heat. However, the temperature forecast remains uncertain through Monday due to daily rain chances. Those who remain dry can anticipate continued high temperatures and humidity. After the passage of a cold front, lower humidity is expected from Tuesday through Thursday, with highs in the 80s and drier conditions.
