Yellow weather warning: Dangerous heat continues on Wednesday, with local storms

ROCHESTER, NY — Wednesday is set to be another hot day with temperatures in the 80s and high humidity.

There is a yellow warning for the heat index with temperatures expected to be in the 100-105 degree range. Take it easy outside on Wednesday.

In addition to the intense heat, there is also a chance of thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and into the evening hours. Should a storm develop, it could be more likely to be strong and locally intense, with damaging wind gusts and possibly torrential rain. Keep an eye on the skies for thunderstorms later in the day, and if you’re outside, you can use the News10NBC Weather App for updates while you’re out and about.

Thursday will also be very hot and there will be local thunderstorms, so the yellow warning will also apply for Thursday. On Friday the temperatures will be a little lower, but still humid.

This weekend will be warm and humid with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Next week, a cooler and less humid air mass will move in. Stay with News10NBC for the latest on the heat and any thunderstorms that develop throughout the day.
