Temperatures will reach highs in the upper 80s °F (around 31 °C), but humid conditions may make it feel closer to the mid-90s °F (35 °C).

Impact & Risks

Residents in the Midlands should prepare for heavy downpours that may lead to isolated flash flooding. Areas under the 'Marginal 1/5 Risk' advisory could experience gusty winds from storms. Flooding risks are particularly concerning for low-lying areas and regions with poor drainage. The humid conditions may also pose heat-related risks, especially for outdoor workers and vulnerable populations. [Source: WIS]
