---CAMP LEGACY FORECAST---

It is going to be very hot for part of the Camp Legacy period, which could lead to some potential problems. Some computer models and local TV stations are predicting temperatures in the lower 100's Sunday and Monday!!! They are also predicting heat indexes to near 115!!!

However, there is almost no chance that it will be this bad! Nevertheless, it will still be very hot!

Sunday-Monday will be sunny and in the upper 90's with heat indexes approaching 105. Campers will NEED to drink plenty of water when being in outdoor activities.

Tuesday afternoon and especially Wednesday (August 6) have a chance of storms. This will cool the temperatures into the lower to middle 90's, but the humidity will still be high, making heat indexes near 100.

Heavy rain and then the big heat...

NO SEVERE THREAT TOMORROW...MID LEVEL WINDS ARE VERY LIGHT!

This event tomorrow afternoon until Thursday morning will be mostly a heavy rain event. Most of the area should get 1-2 inches of rain on average. Some places may get less than 1 inch, but everyone will see rain. Some may also get more than 2 inches if storms train over the same areas. Temps will be in the raincooled lower to middle 80's.

Then, the big heat comes on...Friday should be in the lower 90's with dewpoints around 60 (pleasant).

Saturday begins the excessive heat with temps in the middle 90's, but the dewpoints will stay in the lower 60's for Saturday. That will mean the dewpoints will not get higher than 100. However, that will change for Sunday. That forecast can be read above...
