The hot weather and humidity levels are expected to combine to produce heat index values in the upper 90s to 100. The heat index measures how hot it really feels. A heat index this high could be hazardous for people with respiratory problems and those without air conditioning.
If that isn’t enough, the NWS also forecasts possible thunderstorms, damaging winds, heavy rains and flash flooding.
On Thursday, the NWS forecasts isolated sever thunderstorms, gusty winds, torrential rainfall and flash flooding.
