*** HEAT ADVISORIES AND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS ACROSS GREEN COUNTRY WEDNESDAY FROM 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM ***

Temperatures tonight will remain very warm with lows by daybreak in the mid/upper 70s, and even parts of the metro staying in the low 80s.

Wednesday will be another hot and muggy day across the area with afternoon highs in the upper 90s and low 100s. Heat index values between 105° - 113° with lots of sunshine and a south wind at 10-25 mph. At least we'll have a breeze.

August looks to start quite hot with highs in the low 100s and heat index values once again at or above 110°. Latest data is slightly quicker with a weak front approaching from the north Thursday afternoon and evening. Chances of seeing a shower or storm with the front are quite low, but not zero. We'll keep a very slight chance in the forecast for Friday as well.

Temperatures will drop sightly Friday and into the weekend, but our highs still look to be near or just above average for early August (mid/upper 90s). We may make a run back toward the triple digits by the middle of next week.

Stay cool and hydrated into next week!!
