As you can see, the heat has become extremely oppressive across the area. We did not even drop out of the 80s until sometime close to 1 AM EDT!
This, combined with expected heat index values from 100-104° and temperatures close to 96°, has resulted in the National Weather Service issuing these advisories and warnings:
All Counties Outside Cities of Cincinnati and Dayton: HEAT ADVISORY 12 NOON TO 8 PM TODAY
Hamilton and Montgomery Counties: EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING 12 NOON TO 8 PM TODAY
In the City of Cincinnati a HEAT EMERGENCY exists for today.
Tonight look for temperatures to drop only into the middle 70s, much like Friday night.
On Sunday, a front will move towards the Tri-State and you can look for showers and thunderstorms to dominate your Sunday. Currently the Storm Prediction Center has us in a SLIGHT RISK of severe thunderstorms. Stay tuned for more on that possibility.
After that, we will be only about ten degrees cooler but we will be less humid as well and that should help some for a couple days, even if we rise into the upper 80s we'll still only be in the upper 60s or lower 70s. (It's not a good thing when you're saying "ONLY" upper 60s or lower 70s.)
