After breaking the daily record at Reagan National Airport on Thursday, the dangerous heat continues Friday.
The National Â鶹¹ÙÍø Service said an Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. as temperatures once again climb into the 100-105 degree range.
Combined with tropical humidity, heat index values could reach 110 to 112, creating potentially life-threatening conditions for anyone spending extended time outdoors.
Reagan National Airport could once again challenge its daily record high of 101, while Dulles International Airport may approach or break its daily record of 103.
Unlike Thursday, when sunshine dominated and thunderstorms failed to develop, a few storms are possible late this afternoon and evening. 7News First Alert Meteorologist Eileen Whelan said coverage will be isolated, but any storm that forms could quickly become severe, producing damaging wind gusts, torrential rain, hail and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning.
Storm chances become more widespread Saturday afternoon and evening, which could affect some Fourth of July plans.
