SUMMARY: You all have been sharing stunning Strawberry Moon photos, including a serene shot by Lindsay at Collinsville Beach Boat Ramp and another by Christine titled “Full Moon Over Hickory.” Currently, the moon is bright over the calm, warm weather.

As we head into the weekend, high pressure will keep our area dry and sunny, with temperatures soaring to the mid-90s. Heat indices will range from 99 to 103 degrees, making pool weather ideal.

Sunday continues the heat, potentially reaching a heat index of 105. The heat dome may shift west, introducing spotty showers and storms next week, providing some cooling relief. Tropics-wise, disturbances have a moderate development chance but are currently unorganized.

Make sure to practice heat safety this weekend
