Current Weather Synopsis Hot and humid conditions will continue across the region into the weekend. Heat indices may approach 100 degrees for some of the lowlands during this afternoon and early evening hours today, however with cloud coverage and smoke they will maintain below advisory criteria. Smoke from distant wildfires will keep skies somewhat hazy at times through the evening. This afternoon there will be chances of thunderstorm activity and going into 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 Saturday afternoon into Saturday night, along with the potential for damaging wind gusts.
