Today's Records and Climate Data

Warm and mostly quiet weather will prevail today as highs take aim again at the low to middle 90s. Some scattered afternoon showers cannot be ruled out, mostly west of the I-49 corridor.

Warm and mainly dry conditions expected tonight with any early evening isolated showers and thunderstorms to diminish by around sunset. Overnight lows will be in the lower 70s.

Temperatures will soar by late this weekend and especially next week as an upper-level ridge of high pressure builds across our region with upper 90s and even isolated triple-digit highs. This will likely warrant heat advisories and extreme heat warnings!

Conditions will become increasingly hot heading into the weekend. While Heat Advisory criteria may not necessarily be met, it is still essential to practice heat safety. Here are some helpful tips and strategies for heat safety.
