πŸ₯΅ 100Β° heat index?! Not quite, but it’ll be awfully close on a few days next week. After a pattern of scattered, hit-or-miss showers and thunderstorms into early next week, our first prolonged stretch of summer heat and humidity will begin. High temperatures will reach around 90 degrees, with heat index values climbing into the mid to upper 90s - very muggy!

πŸ‘ No risk of severe weather this week! This feels so odd to say for the end of May after such an active spring. The main concern from any thunderstorms that do pop up on Thursday and Friday would be lightning.

Slight chance for storms today, late afternoon/evening (mainly south of I-70), with chances returning again this weekend. Otherwise, expect temperatures to stay rather warm through the rest of the week, with the potential for 90s in some areas by this weekend. #mowx #kswx
