We return to stifling heat today across much of the area.
There is an Air Quality Alert for the surrounding counties near Nashville.
Look for highs to reach in the lower 90's here in Cookeville and middle 90's in much of the rest of middle TN. The heat will stay in place for Thursday but thunderstorm chances increase significantly with likely thunderstorms on Thursday night and again on Friday.
The weekend actually looks quite nice with chilly overnight temperatures around 60° and highs only in the lower 80's!
