<\/p>\nGood Tuesday, folks. A full-blown heat wave has taken over the weather across the region and will take us through the rest of the week. This heat will be joined by clusters of strong to severe storms diving in from the northwest from time to time.<\/p>\n
Heat takes center stage today with readings generally ranging from 95-100 degrees in much of the state. Heat index values may push 105-110 at times and that’s into the danger category, so slow down and take it easy if working outdoors.<\/p>\n
The first threat for strong to severe storms shows up this afternoon and evening. We will be watching for storm clusters or a big complex of storms to develop to our northwest and drop into the region. The best chance for this is across the eastern half of the state.<\/p>\n
This is where the Storm Prediction Center has the greatest threat for damaging wind producing storms…<\/p>\n

Wednesday looks like a day similar to what we are seeing out there today. Heat index numbers may reach the danger category again as we continue to watch for big storms diving in from the northwest. The Storm Prediction Center is highlighting this area for possible severe storms…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Once again, it’s the damaging wind threat that will be the biggest player.<\/p>\n
The stage is then set for additional rounds of showers and storms to drop in here through the end of the week and into Saturday. We should get a break by Sunday and Monday, but more storms fire early next week.<\/p>\n
The forecast models continue to pick up on the heavy rain potential during this time…<\/p>\n
