Hot and Humid Weekend

Dangerous Heat This Weekend

Heat Safety

Increasingly humid conditions will be seen today through the weekend. Afternoon heat index values greater than 100 degrees are likely Saturday and Sunday for most of the forecast area, especially along and south of I-80. There are low (<30%) chances of storms this weekend that may dampen the heat some, but confidence in this is low. Remember to stay hydrated this weekend!

Dangerous heat returns this weekend with heat index values above 100 degrees during the afternoon hours. Remember to drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade if outdoors. There are low chances of storms Saturday and Sunday along and north of Hwy 30 that may keep temperatures and heat index values a little lower if they occur.
