Today will be another hot and humid day. Highs will reach the mid 90s. Heat index values will peak in the triple digits. Once again, there will be an elevated risk for developing heat-related illnesses, especially in the valley. A line of scattered storms will move in from Kentucky during the late afternoon/evening. A few storms could be strong. Damaging winds, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning are the main concerns. With many outdoor plans for the long weekend (including the season opener for the Vols), please make sure you have a way to receive watches and warnings should they be issued.
Storm chances will remain elevated through this evening. Quieter conditions will develop overnight. Low temperatures will reach the low 70s…
