The brutal heat will continue Thursday and Friday, making for a hot and humid start to August.
Temperatures in the mid to upper 90s combined with significant humidity will lead to heat indices soaring to over 105. For that reason, we’re issuing a Weather Authority Alert Day for Thursday and Friday.
Heat indices will exceed the 105 mark on Thursday, with temperatures in the mid-90s.
Friday will be the hotter of the two days, as temperatures in the mid to upper 90s combined with significant humidity will cause head indices to skyrocket to the 110 mark for Lynchburg and Southside, and above 105 for the Highlands and Roanoke.
Heat is the deadliest weather-related phenomenon and can sneak up on anyone quickly. Be sure you stay hydrated, take frequent breaks if outside, and check up on pets and other family members who may be at a greater risk for heat-related illness.
