Good Tuesday bloggers,

The main forecast issues today through the Fourth of July holiday weekend are the timing of thunderstorms and a potential heat wave. And, of course, the KC area is on the edge of both.

The heat wave on Monday was building from southern Arizona to Texas. It was 110° in El Paso and 101° in Dallas. The humidity is a big factor around Dallas and Houston making heat indices 110°-120°.

Here is a look at the severe thunderstorm threat for later today and tonight. KC seems to be protected again.

Have a great rest of your week and stay healthy.
