We're now under an Excessive Heat Warning
Posted Friday, July 21, 2017, at 1:36 PM
With the temperatures and heat indices continuing to rise, the National Weather Service has upgraded the region to an Excessive Heat Warning for the rest of today and Saturday.
The warning states, "PEAK HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM 110 TO 115 DEGREES TODAY AND SATURDAY."
Actual air temperatures should remain below triple-digits. The record highs of 102 at Cape Girardeau for both July 21 and 22 should remain safe.
Sunday will bring a chance of thunderstorms and cloudiness that will usher in "cooler" temperatures with the heat index only reaching around 104.
