The special weather warning is concerning temperatures this afternoon. The weather service said the heat index will reach 95 to 100, and, coupled with high humidity levels, there's an increased risk of dehydration.
The hazardous weather outlook was issued not only for the aforementioned high temperatures, but because the conditions Thursday night and Friday morning will be just perfect for miserable, or "severe," thunderstorms.
Oh yeah, and there's also a chance of thunderstorms for every day after that until next Wednesday.
