Expect hot and humid conditions with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values climbing into the triple digits on this Saturday. A few scattered showers or thunderstorms are possible as well, especially the farther west and southwest you go, but overall, the dominant story continues to be the heat.
There are signs of a shift on the horizon. The same heat dome that has been parked over the South for most July may finally start to weaken as we move into the first week of August. Whether that brings a drop in humidity, slightly cooler temperatures, or a change in storm chances, we are keeping a close eye.
