First Alert Weather Day: Intense heat and strong storms possible

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Yesterday was the hottest day in 10 years and today may be just as hot!

Excessive Heat Warning & Heat Advisory in effect
Isolated strong to severe storms possible
Some relief by the weekend

There will be little to stop the high heat and humidity through the end of this week! Scattered showers and storms may provide temporary relief from the sweltering conditions. Otherwise, expect daytime readings to reach the upper 90s through Friday. Heat indices will top out in the danger category (105°-110° range) each day through Friday. Stay hydrated in the heat! In addition to the heat, there is a chance for an isolated severe storm today through Friday. A few storms containing strong wind gusts and hail are possible.

By the end of the week, all signs point toward a cold front arriving with better shower/storm chances Friday into Saturday. This will be followed by a break in the heat. Slightly cooler, less humid air moves in for a time this weekend before temps heat back up to start next week.
