They could fire a little earlier tomorrow than 3 00 p. M. We can see them firing potentially closer towards noon. The annoying thing abast the fortomorrow is we know theres going to be rain, but exactly where it falls is the tricky part out there. Right now were thinking maybe northern virginia. But areawide has the chance. Ill just leave with you this look at the heat index through sunday. No thanks, no thanks at all i dont like that hot and humid.
