The heat peaks Wednesday and Thursday with highs near 100° and heat index values between 105° and 110°. Overnight lows will be in the upper 70s both days.
Friday brings our first chance of thunderstorms to try and break down this high pressure ridge keeping the heat in place. The storms likely won't be until late, so high temperatures will still climb into the mid to upper 90s.
Additional rounds of thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon/evening through the weekend. High temperatures will start to fall, peaking in the low 90s, as the ridge begins to break.
