Flood watch extended through 7PM; heat advisory after rain

The hot, soupy airmass is still making itself comfortable -- and us uncomfortable -- across the quad state.

For today a few thunderstorms remain possible through the day and especially the afternoon. Like yesterday, some of these storms may briefly produce a damaging wind threat. They will also be slow moving heavy rain producers, and any area that has one set up over them could experience flash flooding.

The flash flood watch has been extended through 7 o'clock this evening.

After the rain passes, the hottest stretch of the season begins today with highs around 90.  A heat advisory is in effect for areas mainly west of a line from Mayfield to Mt. Vernon. Heat index values over 105 are expected there. Heat index values over 100 are possible everywhere.

Tomorrow and Thursday won't be much better with heat index 103 to 107 forecast. Some relief will follow on Friday.
