 .DISCUSSION...
 Hot and humid conditions continue to the region through the end of 
 the week. Thursday will likely be the hottest day with heat indices 
 approaching the triple digit mark across the lower elevations. Smoke 
 from distant wildfires will keep skies somewhat hazy at times 
 through at least Friday.
 
 The chance for showers and thunderstorms will return as early as 
 Friday afternoon, and will last through the weekend as a cold front 
 moves into the area. Some of these storms could produce heavy 
 rainfall that may lead to localized flash flooding, along with 
 strong wind gusts. The highest rain chances will be Saturday.
