Patrick’s First Warning Forecast: Dangerous heat and humidity

Posted at
and last updated

Even hotter and muggier weather on tap for the second half of the weekend. We are expecting plenty of sunshine with high temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s and heat index values between 100 and 105 in the afternoon.

Air pollution will also be an issue for folks with pre-existing health problems, like asthma. We are under a code orange for ground-level ozone.

Don’t expect any relief on Monday. In fact, it looks like it’ll be even hotter and more humid for the start of the work week.

Temperatures will moderate a bit for Tuesday and the 4th of July on Wednesday. But it will still be miserably muggy, with a feels-like temperature near 100 each afternoon.

Right now, it looks like any rain will hold off until Thursday.
