Heat Wave Continues Thursday

We have two more hot and steamy days to get through, with highs in the mid to upper 90s to wrap up the work week! A heat advisory is in effect in the Bluegrass with an excessive heat warning west. A few morning showers, storms and extensive cloud cover will clear our later in the day. This should allow the heat index (heat & humidity combined) to top out in the upper 90s and triple digits Thursday and peak in the 100° to 110° range Friday. A cold front will spark an afternoon round of showers and t-showers, mainly across southern counties, and finally end this oppressive August heat wave. Highs will fall to around 90° Saturday, with a few morning showers and storms possible. Sunday trends are even cooler and closer to normal, with highs in the mid-80s.
