Here's a short list of what you need to know:

Heat Advisory continues through Saturday evening
Air Quality alert extended through Saturday
Still feels like 100 degrees

Yes, the story continues of heat, humidity and little to no rainfall. Friday overnight lows will once again only drop into the low 70s, setting us up for another hot day Saturday.
Saturday's forecast will be a repeat, high of 95, feels like 100 degrees and mostly sunny.

Sunday is finally the day when things start to change in the Ohio Valley. It will still be hot and humid with a high near 90. But clouds are building and we'll eventually see showers and storms returning to the area. The exact timing of showers and storms is still a little murky, so continue checking back for updates.

As of Friday morning, some weather models are showing a line of showers and storms Saturday night in Illinois and Indiana arriving locally to the Tri-State on Sunday morning as a broken line of storms to start the day. Then, additional showers and storms redevelop in the afternoon, mainly after 4 p.m.

The Storm Prediction Center has a "marginal risk" of severe storms for the Tri-State on Sunday. This would cover the afternoon and evening storms. Damaging wind gusts are the concern if anything turns severe that day.

But this cold front will knock down the temperature a little bit but also bring down humidity a little bit. Monday we'll top out at 88 with a partly cloudy sky and lower levels of humidity.
