...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY...
HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE MIDWEST THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK...THANKS TO A PERSISTENT AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE STALLED ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 90S
IN MOST AREAS TODAY AND THURSDAY...WITH AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX
VALUES NEAR OR JUST ABOVE 100 DEGREES. FRIDAY MAY BE THE HOTTEST
DAY OF THE HEAT WAVE...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S IN SOME SPOTS AND
HEAT INDEX VALUES RANGING FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES. RELIEF FROM THE
HEAT WILL ARRIVE LATE FRIDAY...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
PARTS OF THE AREA...FOLLOWED BY COOLER AND LESS HUMID WEATHER OVER
THE WEEKEND.
