 Happy Independence Day. Stay hydrated today. Temperatures will climb up to around 103. That heat index could be about 110 with a gusty south wind actually elevating the wildfire danger. Be safe with the fireworks. We will have a chance for thunderstorms today. It's running 40% across the region. Afternoon storms could produce large hail and damaging winds. Then as the late evening rolls along, that will push on out. There's a 20% chance of rain. From the Newsline of Bob Mills Weather Center, I'm meteorologist Lexi Swope.
