This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A prolonged heat wave continues to produce dangerously hot and
humid conditions. Please see the Extreme Heat Warning for details.

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible throughout the Quad State

gusty winds will be the primary concerns. However, a few severe
storms with damaging winds cannot be ruled out over the Evansville

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Heat index values may reach 100 to 105 on Sunday over portions of

The extreme heat, low humidity, and rapidly drying vegetation may
result in increased fire starts through the holiday weekend and
into next week.

Small chances of thunderstorms are forecast over portions of the
Quad State Wednesday night through Friday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation cannot be completely ruled out this afternoon
and evening over the Evansville Tri State and Pennyrile regions.
