My 2 cents: Wednesday August 27, 2014 the 239th Day of Year With no appreciable change in the forecast today, the HEAT ADVISORY will continue for most of the area through early this evening. Once again, thermometer readings will top out in the low to mid 90s, while heat index values (the temperature your body reacts to when high humidity reduces the evaporation/cooling process) will peak anywhere from 100 to around 105 degrees. The forecast calls for the core of the heat ridge to gradually become suppressed just as the holiday weekend arrives. Thats good news in regards to temperatures, but bad news if youve got one more outdoor bash planned for the summer. As the core of the heat moves away, a trough of low pressure will replace it. That, in turn, will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms back into the region, mainly for Saturday and Sunday. Until some relief arrives, use common sense when spending extended periods of time outside during these next few days.
