The heat wave continues as we look to the end of the work week. Once again, lows overnight Thursday will only drop down into the low 70s, setting up another day of heat index values around 100 Friday.
Friday will also be mostly sunny, hot and humid. We'll warm to 96 tomorrow. And Saturday is another scorcher! We'll warm to 96. The National Weather Service has also extended the heat advisory to include Saturday's forecast.
An Air Quality Alert is in effect for parts of the Tri-State. This is set to expire after Midnight on Friday. It applies to Butler, Clermont and Hamilton counties in Ohio, Boone Campbell and Kenton counties in Kentucky and Dearborn county in Indiana.
So when does it end? Heat is going to press on into next week but some changes are coming. A cold front will move through Sunday and this will bring scattered showers and storms, potentially a few severe storms that afternoon and evening. This will bring the high down to around 90 for next week and it also helps drop the humidity level for a few days. But eventually next week, humidity will start to rise.
We are in the 90-degree mindset for quite the stretch!
