 .DISCUSSION...
 The heat and humidity remains in place into the weekend. The hottest 
 conditions will be observed Thursday and Friday, with temperatures 
 in the lowlands reaching the mid 90s to around 100 degrees. 
 Oppressive humidity will create dangerous heat indices in the 100s.
 Heat safety precautions should be taken.
 
 Active weather returns Friday with isolated showers and 
 thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, including the marginal 
 chance for severe thunderstorms. Coverage and likelihood of showers 
 and thunderstorms increase through the weekend, as the ridge of high 
 pressure driving the heat wave breaks down, and a front moves in.
