Tracking another day of triple digit heat after morning storms

TONIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy with a few showers and storms by morning as a cold front approaches. Lows in the upper 70s.

TOMORROW: Morning storms followed by heat and humidity with highs in the mid-90s. Heat index between 100-105.

EXTENDED: Showers and storms have stayed to our northeast yet again today, with a mostly quiet night ahead. A complex of showers and storms could fill in along a slow moving cold front overnight into tomorrow, with a few lingering storms by daybreak. We'll still reach the mid-90s during the day with the heat index around 100-105 despite more clouds. A few showers and storms could redevelop along the front to our south in the afternoon. Friday is slightly cooler with highs in the upper 80s, and with a northerly breeze, dew points will be slightly lower, keeping the heat index in the lower 90s. The weekend is sunny and rain-free, but heat and humidity hold on with heat indices in the mid-upper 90s. We'll start next week off dry, but could get the heat index to near 100 again before a cold front brings rain and a cool down by late week.
