Expect temperatures to rise back into the upper 80s to mid 90s across the Commonwealth today, with heat index values nearing 100 degrees. Scattered thunderstorms will pop up over the northern tier, with the south remaining dry. A few storms may contain damaging wind gusts and generate heavy rain. The storms will diminish tonight, and fog may form, especially where the rain fell. Lows will range from 65 to 70 with the urban areas perhaps staying just above 70 degrees. The heat and humidity will continue on Friday with more numerous showers and storms expected to cover a greater portion of the Commonwealth versus Thursday. Storms are possible as far south as the Turnpike. The heat and humidity will combine to push the heat index just over 100 degrees in the central valleys, and in the 90s elsewhere. Saturday looks even more uncomfortable with slightly higher heat index values and more showers and thunderstorms. $$
