Speaking of heat, let me drop some meteorological knowledge in our Weather Playbook segment. Today we're talking about heat index - it's basically how hot it actually feels when humidity joins the temperature party. Humidity makes it feel warmer because it slows down our body's natural cooling mechanism of sweating. Science is cool, y'all! Now for our three-day forecast: Thursday's hot and potentially stormy, Friday brings more thunderstorm chances with temperatures near 94 degrees, and Saturday looks like a wet weekend with a 70 percent chance of showers. Pro weather tip - if you're heading to the Beltline or Piedmont Park this weekend, pack an umbrella and maybe some waterproof shoes. Atlanta's looking like it might turn into a temporary water park!
