Potential heat wave this weekend into next week. A large area of high pressure in the four corners will shift eastweard over the southern plains this weekend into early next week. Places in the midwest and eastern seaboard could see the warmest temperatures yet. The mercury starts to climb for us in Chicago starting Friday and continues through Monday. With plenty of humidity, heat indices could reach triple digits. The latest models have Monday as our warmest in which we could see highs in the mid 90s with heat inices close to 100. Overall across the region, temperatures wil range from 95-100 with heat indices as high as 110 in some spots. The threat for severe weather Friday as a wave riding along the eastern side of ridge comes down from Minnesota/Wisconsin. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary concerns.
