.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

Precip Potential: Sunday looks dry but every other day through
the long term has 15-30% PoPs as a warm, humid airmass stays in
place. No focus for organized severe weather has been
identified at this time.

Temperatures/Heat: Sunday and Monday will see highs in the low
to mid 90s and heat index values in the mid to upper 90s, but
overnight lows in the low 70s will bring some relief. Tuesday
through Thursday will see highs in the 80s and heat index values
in the mid 80s to low 90s, along with overnight lows in the 60s.
Heat returns Friday into next weekend with highs in the low 90s
and heat index values in the mid to upper 90s. Overnight lows
late in the week will be in the upper 60s to low 70s, which
limits overall heat concerns some.
