It’s been a nice break from the high heat and humidity but now we are about to start another heat wave that will likely be longer and worse than the last one. Highs will reach into the lower 90s today with sunny skies. It will feel more muggy with rising dew points.
A storm system will move into western Ohio early Thursday morning and move east through the afternoon. This system could produce some severe weather especially in eastern Ohio with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The window for severe weather right now will be morning through late afternoon. Storms will decrease in the evening and Friday looks mainly dry with just some afternoon scattered storms possible.
The heat will be our big weather story after severe weather on Thursday. While highs will be in the lower and even middle 90s through next week, heat advisories may be issued Sunday through Tuesday when our humidity will be the highest. This is always the factor that is most dangerous during the heat wave. Even looking at the extended outlook for next week, there are no major cool downs in the near future.
