Heat will build over the area this weekend with the hottest stretch of the summer so far with multiple days of max heat indices between 105-110F continuing into next week. Heat-related illness and death occurs every year (even in SC and GA!) Remember to practice heat safety!

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected today, with the greatest coverage across the eastern Midlands and lower Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Mostly sunny with very low rain chances into the weekend, with temperatures on the rise each day.

Today will feel less humid outside as drier air spreads into the region. The dew point is a good indicator of how "dry" or "humid" it feels outside. So while high temperatures will be around 90 in most areas this afternoon, the lower dew points will make it feel more comfortable.
