Labor Day weekend will get off to a hot start with Heat Advisory-level heat indices expected Saturday. From there, we’ll turn more unsettled as we get into Sunday as a front moves through the area.

Summer won’t loosen its grip just yet, especially as we head into Friday and Saturday as a front approaches the area, sending air temperatures back to the mid-90s and heat indices close to heat advisory territory.
