KB, if you aren't rolling and the corn looks pretty good otherwise I have a hunch you will pollinate pretty decently. Are you are full tassel with a lot of silk? What is the pollen shed like? More than likely most of it will pollinate but if it were to stay hot and dry would abort kernals. A lot of guys around here have been known to mistake kernal abortion for pollination problems. Its really hard to say what will happen with the kind of heat you are looking at. Good luck.
