Strong storms possible later. Spotter activation may be necessary.
*HOT SUNDAY (relief on the way)*
Sunday should be our last hot afternoon for next several days. A 'cold' (not very cold in summer) front moves through bringing much lower dewpoints and temperatures that will run nearly 10 degrees cooler than the last week or so. Still, we have to get past Sunday first and it appears we'll have a repeat of Saturday with highs in the 90's and the heat index will top 100°. The good news is we will have a great chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Hoping for some of this for Sunday!
*SATURDAY'S HOT FACTS*
Speaking of Saturday, we saw our heat index hit 103° at 1:17 yesterday afternoon as our high was 91° at 2:51. Some locations, mainly to our west, saw some big thunderstorms. We remained dry across the Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau.
