Bring on the Heat!!!

Tomorrow could be one of the warmest so far this year if everything goes to plan. The storm system responsible for the rainfall we have seen this morning will also be the cause of our extremely warm day tomorrow. A warm front will be progressing northward tomorrow across areas of the east. Behind (south) of that front temperatures will likely be well into the 90's and could even approach 100 degrees. In combination with very high humidity tomorrow, heat indices (what it feels like) could get up to 105 degrees. But the question remains, just how far north will the warm front get? Well, here is one of our models that might have the answer to that very question

The line on the picture indicates where the warm front is located. Notice that by 1pm, areas south of that front are already in the low to mid 90's.
As the front continues to push northeastward, some pooling of warm air occurs and temperatures (at least in this model) top 100 in a few spots. But also take note that areas outside of the warm sector have temperatures some 15-25 degrees cooler, making your Saturday afternoon a little more bearable.So try to stay cool on your Saturday cause it's shaping up to be a sultry day.
