 .DISCUSSION...
 Dangerous heat is the main weather story for our area through the 
 end of the work week. High pressure is sitting right over us, 
 bringing clear skies, dry weather, and high temperatures in the 
 middle to upper 90s today through Friday. When you add in the 
 humidity, it will feel like it is over 100 degrees outside during 
 the afternoon hours. Because it will stay very warm and muggy at 
 night, our bodies will not get much of a chance to cool down. Please 
 take the heat seriously. Drink plenty of water, stay in the air 
 conditioning if you can, and check on your neighbors and pets. 
 
 By the holiday weekend, the high pressure will finally begin to move 
 away, which will bring back our chances for scattered rain showers 
 and thunderstorms.
