The Heat Is Still On

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Hot, humid and breezy conditions continued for the Big Country today. Highs were in the 90s. Heat index values were once again in the upper 90s to around 105.

The upper level high pressure ridge that is centered over the southeastern part of the country right now is still expected to move westward beginning tomorrow. It should be right on top of us by Saturday. This is when we will experience our hottest temperatures of the week. Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 90s tomorrow through next Wednesday. It is possible for some parts of the area to reach the triple digits Saturday through Monday. Be sure you are not only taking care of yourself in this heat, but keep an eye on your pets as well. Dry conditions are likely for at least the next seven days.

Have a terrific Thursday!
