“OK, friends, let’s be careful and check up on one another,” said Chief Meteorologist John Ahrens on Friday afternoon.

It will be dangerously hot in areas over the weekend as the heat index gets close to 100 degrees.

There will be a few cooling thunderstorms possible on Sunday but most of us are in the oven through the weekend and well into next week, Ahrens said.
