Forecast heat indices of 100-110 degrees for the next couple days (especially areas south of Highway 30) will lead to dangerous heat. These conditions can lead to heat exhaustion and even heatstroke, so make sure to stay cool and hydrated in these conditions!

Safety Tips During Extreme Heat

Scattered thunderstorms (30-60%) are forecast to develop Wednesday night into Thursday across our north, some of which could become strong to severe. Uncertainty remains on the exact storm coverage and timing, and these outlook areas could shift northward or southward over the next day. However, if any storms were to become severe, large hail and localized damaging winds will be the primary hazards. Make sure to monitor the forecast for the latest details!
