(WTOK) -The Heat Dome to our west continues to have a big influence on our local weather. It’s keeping temps above the average, so expect highs in the upper 90s Tuesday afternoon. This is dangerously hot in and of itself, but it remains very humid with dew points well into the 70s. So, the high heat and very humid conditions won’t be a good mix. FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYUnfortunately, we’re in for very impactful / intense heat Tuesday PM with heat index values hovering around 110 degrees across our area. This type of heat could surely lead to heat illnesses if you don’t practice heat safety. This is especially true for those of you who have to work outside in the heat, and for those who don’t have access to adequate air conditioning. Don’t expect much rain relief Tuesday... as the chance of a shower is less than 20%. Yet, you’ll be lucky to catch a stray shower should it form. Wednesday, it’ll remain dangerously hot with highs in the upper 90s and heat indices between 105-110. However, upper disturbances could move into our region at the right time... promoting scattered PM showers &amp; storms. So, at least, there’s a chance that a shower or storm could bring some areas brief relief from the heat. A BIT COOLER BY WEEK’S ENDBy the end of the week, the upper-level Heat Dome will drift farther west. This will allow for an upper level trough to gather more of an influence, and it’ll help swing more disturbances our way. So, highs will fall back closer to the ‘average’ by the end of the workweek (mid 90s).By this weekend, highs will be below the average...staying closer to 90 degrees. Daily rain chances can also be expected, but your weekend isn’t looking like a wash-out. Stay tuned for updates. </div></body>
