Tracking storm chances ahead of dangerous heat
TUESDAY: We start the warming trend this afternoon. Highs will push into the low to mid 90’s with a heat index threatening the triple-digits. A batch of showers out west will throw some more cloud cover our direction, but we’ll stay quiet other than that today.
TONIGHT: Storm chances return late tonight, however. Timing’s a bit tricky this morning, but these look to hold off until at least after midnight. Depending on how organized this line of storms stay, we could be looking at some gusty winds. Best chances will reside north of I-70.
EXTENDED: Depending on how that morning round of storms holds together and unfolds, we could see another round by the afternoon. If they fall apart like the last few have wanted to, the chance increases for the afternoon. If anything does develop Wednesday evening, it will need to be monitored for some hail and gusty winds. We get back to the quiet weather Thursday with highs back in the low 90’s. This will start out what looks like an extended stay in the heat, with highs approaching the middle to upper 90’s this weekend. Heat indices will be in the 105-110 range this weekend so stay hydrated and take frequent breaks if outdoors.
