A few thunderstorms will have the potential to produce hail and strong wind gusts. These winds could down small tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects like trash cans and lawn furniture.

Combined with the humidity, apparent temperatures will range from 100 to 103 degrees during peak heating. Individuals are urged to use extra caution when outdoors and drink plenty of fluids. Closer to the coast apparent temperatures will mainly be in the upper 90's and caution is urged in these areas as well.
Elevated fire danger will continue due to very dry ground fuels and low daytime relative humidity values. Burn bans are in effect for the entire state.
Showers and thunderstorms will be widely scattered at best on Thursday afternoon and evening before strengthening high pressure aloft will essentially cut off convective development through the remainder of the period.
