After, for some, the hottest day in over a decade our Thursday is going to be hot once again. The likelihood of low 100s isn't going to be as high today but our temperatures will once again climb into the upper 90s and it'll feel much hotter. The good news is that this is the final day of the hot temperatures.
An excessive heat warning still remains in effect for nearly all of our coverage area through 7pm Thursday. Once again, heat index values are going to climb between 100-110°F by the middle of the afternoon. Temperatures, though, are going to be slightly cooler than yesterday with highs in the upper 90s. A few low 100s are still possible.
Wednesday, at least six locations climbed into the low 100s, which is the first time since 2012, and possibly the first 100s in August since 1988. Specifically looking at Prairie du Chien, 104°F beats the 2012 high of 102°F. For Boscobel, the high temperature of 105°F ties their 2012 high temperature which is the hottest temperature recorded since 1999.
