Thursday Weather

Decision Weather

August 13th:

We're straying away from the heat in the 100's for the remainder of the week! We'll have mostly sunny skies today with highs in the lower 90's. Shower and thunderstorm chances are expected to enter the forecast tonight and give us chances every day going into next week. These chances also bring cooler weather to the listening area. Highs will remain in the upper 80's/low 90's through Saturday, then drop a little more into the low to mid 80's to finish out the weekend and into next week. Overnight lows are forecast to stay in the low to mid 60's for the next few days. Severity of storms will be dependent on location, so stay informed before heading outdoors!

Stay tuned to Super-Hits 106 to catch the forecast every half hour!
