Discussion

The big story across much of the nation in coming days will be the influx of intense heat and the southeastern US will be impacted as well. After highs today and Thursday in the upper 80’s, temperatures should surge well up into the 90’s around here over the weekend and humidity will be a very noticeable factor as well.
