Summary
Wednesday brings the most dangerous setup: upper-80s to mid-90s temperatures, a heat index near 100°, and severe storms expected by afternoon and evening.
Those storms could produce tornadoes, large hail, damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall, with southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph gusting to 35 mph adding to the threat.
Before that, Tuesday stays dry during the day but turns hot and humid, with highs in the mid-80s to low 90s and heat index values in the mid to upper 90s; any nighttime storms are expected to stay mostly northeast.
Heavy rain and localized flooding remain possible Monday, especially east of I-380, before rain tapers off overnight and patchy fog develops.
A cold front keeps the severe pattern going into Thursday with another Level 3/5 risk, then Friday turns mostly sunny with lower humidity and highs in the low to mid-80s.
