A Heat Advisory remains in effect for the area until Friday evening. Heat indices are expected to reach or exceed 100 degrees for most of the region each afternoon through Friday.
As is often the case with these very hot & humid summertime days, a few pop-up storms in the afternoon could bring brief gusty winds, quarter sized hail, and a heavy downpour. Best chance of this for both today & Thu afternoon will be in the mountains & along & south of I-40.

Stay hydrated, limit time outdoors during the hottest part of the day, and NEVER leave children or pets in parked vehicles
