A few strong to locally damaging thunderstorm wind gusts are possible this afternoon and evening along with some brief heavy rainfall. Low temperatures tonight between 65 and 75 degrees will provide little relief from the heat. Areas of fog may become locally dense overnight into early Saturday morning. The ongoing, significant early summer heat wave impacting the Commonwealth will peak over the weekend with high temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees and heat indices between 95 and 110 degrees. The early arrival of the heat, persistence of the heat over multiple days, and light winds and limited cloud cover will remain aggravating factors in terms of overall heat stress. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will remain possible during the afternoon and evening Saturday and Sunday. Some relief from the sweltering heat and humidity is expected on Monday. $$ MRS
