The Heat Advisory continues through Friday as the dangerous combination of heat and humidity continues. Take it easy outside, stay hydrated, and continue to check on your older neighbors, friends, and family members. Pets should also have access to clean water and a cool, shaded area at all times.
Thursday morning will be warm and muggy with most of the Tri-State walking out the door to mid 70s with mostly clear skies.
The afternoon will be hot and humid with mostly sunny skies. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s, but the heat index will push over 100 in nearly all cities. Cincinnati's heat index could hit 103. Late afternoon and into the evening, a couple isolated showers and storms could pop up in the heat, but most cities stay dry.
The storms could become just strong enough to produce some hail and strong wind along with the heavy rain and lightning. Any storms that pop up should end early at night.
Throughout Friday, a few scattered showers and storms will pass through the Tri-State. These will also come with a small severe storm threat. While a few more spots will see rain on Friday compared to Thursday, there will still be a lot of dry areas. We also start to pull back the heat a small amount. Highs will be in the low 90s, but with extra humidity, it will still feel like we're near 100.
A weak cold front arrives Saturday, which brings out best chance for rain, but the exact timing is still unclear. Highs will be in the upper 80s with a heat index in the mid 90s.
Looking ahead to the Riverfest on Sunday, it still looks like we are good to go. Highs top out in the mid-80s that afternoon, with lower humidity. By the time fireworks begin, temperatures will be in the mid 70s!
The mid 80s continue for Labor Day with a lot of sunshine!
