KRIS 6 Weather

Actions

Your holiday weekend is setting up to be warm, humid, and windy...but no rain.

High pressure in the upper air is trapping Gulf humidity and compressing the atmosphere, thereby heating it up and raising heat indices. The pattern shifts in the second half of the coming week.
