Pleasant Thursday before incredibly hot weekend

Our temps will still remain well below average over the next two days, but soon, a pretty impactful heat wave will make its way to the Heartland.

  • Cloudy Thursday
  • Somewhat humid Friday & Saturday
  • Severe heat and humidity return starting Sunday

Forecast

Our Thursday morning is super pleasant, paired with a beautiful sunrise and temperatures only at the lower 60s for most of us! That cloud coverage will continue into the afternoon.

Thursday will be a mostly cloudy day with spotty rain showers. Because of the clouds and chance at rain, temps will only reach the upper 70s. We'll drop those rain chances and a little bit of cloud coverage overnight.

Friday is now trending drier and sunnier, which also means it will be a little warmer out with low 80s for highs. Pay attention to UV indexes as well, and use some sunscreen if heading outside for Friday afternoon events!

Warm, humid air will begin to blow into the region Saturday. This could lead to a few spotty showers and storms throughout the day. It will be wind and muggy Saturday with highs in the upper 80s, feeling more like the mid 90s.

Severe heat and humidity kick into full gear Sunday. It will be sunny and breezy with highs in the low 90s and a heat index around 105+.

This severe heat will continue through much of next week with highs Monday-Wednesday in the low to mid 90s and heat indices around 100-105.

Heading into the 4th of July weekend, it will still be very warm with low 90s for highs, but the humidity may be slightly less oppressive. There are some signals for rain and storms as the summer heat ridge in the jet stream eventually begins to break down around the 4th-7th.

This heat relief may be several days away, but should arrive some time after the 4th of July weekend is over.
