 .DISCUSSION...
 The intense heat wave will continue Friday into Saturday, with high 
 temperatures in the 90s and heat index values over 100 degrees for 
 many areas. Remember to stay hydrated and limit strenuous outdoor 
 activities during the afternoon hours.
 
 As the high pressure system responsible for the heat begins to break 
 down, chances for showers and thunderstorms will return to the 
 forecast this afternoon and evening, with additional showers and 
 storms expected over the weekend and into early next week. Some 
 storms could be strong to severe, especially on Saturday. Damaging 
 winds are the primary hazard.
