Oppressive heat and humidity will continue today. Very warm and muggy nights will offer little relief from the heat for those without access to air conditioning. If you need to be outside, hydrate and take plenty of breaks in the shade or AC.

Heat and humidity will continue today, with the heat index peaking in the 98 to 103 range south of Lake Ontario and in the western Finger Lakes, and mid to upper 90s elsewhere. Temperatures and heat index begin to trend lower Saturday.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected today, mainly from early afternoon through early evening. Some storms may be severe with locally damaging wind gusts the main hazard. Be weather aware this afternoon and seek shelter if storms approach!
