Watch Melissa's forecast:
Late-Week 'Scorcha'
Highs will come close or possibly reach the century mark on Thursday &/or Friday!
Heat indices will surpass the 100F degree mark. It will be important to be extra careful during this period of extreme heat.
The GFSx is hinting at a cold front moving through this Friday evening/night. This would produce a few showers and storms before providing some relief this weekend.
