Heat index values are around 100 today and closer to 105 Sunday. Record highs are possible.

There could be a few more clouds than today, but they’re probably of minimal impact. Highs will be within a few degrees of 100, assuming we maximize sunshine. The record of 101 may be in play. Heat index values are closer to 105 in the afternoon, which can quickly become dangerous without precautions. Again, just a remote chance of a thunderstorm. Confidence: Medium-HighWe could see a thunderstorm complex approach from the northwest at night.

Confidence: Medium-High, under partly cloudy skies. If temperatures are lower than Sunday, higher humidity probably counteracts it. Highs are mainly in the mid- and upper 90s. It’s most likely another day with heat index values between 100 and 105 at peak. There’s a better chance of scattered showers or storms late day as a front approaches. Some storms could be strong to severe. Confidence: Medium-High. This keeps us rather cloudy and perhaps somewhat rainy.
