Forecast Discussion

We are still experiencing a heat wave for today and Thursday from a high pressure ridge over the United States. The heat index states that it may feel like 104 degrees during this heat wave. The wind flow is also pulling up moisture from the gulf, which is making it very humid this week so make sure to drink plenty of water when going out today and tomorrow. Athens, OH is also under a slight risk of severe thunderstorms for late Thursday night. The heat and humidity from this week could produce some strong thunderstorms since storms rely on heat in the atmosphere and moisture to sustain the storm and strengthen. There will be no cold front coming during this slight risk, so I would not expect any crazy severe storms, but still be on the lookout Thursday evening.
