INTENSE HEAT WAVE CONTINUES!

Good morning. Thanks for choosing my blog for your weather source! No doubt about it, we have seen incredible heat for awhile now, and it's not ending anytime soon! For most areas, we have to go all the way back to 1936 as the last time we had a heat wave this intense. Highs today through Saturday will be near 100 degrees each day. The heat indices could be as high as 105 each day. 


ANY STORM CHANCES? We do have about a 20% chance of scattered storms this afternoon. Similar to the past several days, most areas will continue to stay dry. Areas across northern Indiana could see a couple severe storms, with the chance of damaging winds and hail in the stronger storms. Looking ahead at the rest of the week, storm chances look very low. about a 10% chance tomorrow through Saturday.


4TH OF JULY: If you have plans to head out to the 4th of July fireworks in downtown Indy tomorrow, be prepared for the heat! Highs tomorrow will top out at 100°, with about a 10-20% chance of a pop-up storm through sunset. The heat will hold on for the evening. Temps will remain in the 90's through 9pm, then drop in the middle 80's by 10-11pm.


If you're looking for a cool-down, we may be looking at an end to the heat wave next week, with increased storm chances Sunday on, with temperatures possibly dropping into the upper 80's by the middle of next week, but I say that very cautiously! 


Keep staying cool. Have a great day.
