Heat index values will continue to climb over the next few days. A Heat Advisory is in place across portions of the Arkansas River Valley today and Friday.
Scattered storms will return to the area next week in the afternoons and early evenings. Severe weather threat will be low, but there will be a minor flooding risk with 2-3" possible if an area gets multiple storms each day.
The local forecast remains dry and settled through this week, however, you may have noticed increasing attention towards the tropics. As we move into August, we are headed towards peak climatological tropical activity in the Atlantic.
