High temperatures will be in the low to middle 90s again on Wednesday. Factor in the very high humidity and the heat index is soaring above 105° this afternoon. This is similar to the last couple days, but the difference on Wednesday is the addition of showers and thunderstorms. After 2 p.m., spotty showers will begin developing across inland areas. We will be drier at the beaches, although a few showers will make a run at the coast. These will linger around in spots through the evening commute.

More of the same is expected in the next few days with higher-than-average levels of humidity. A few showers and thunderstorms each afternoon are expected, but no organized storm systems will move in anytime soon.

Aug. 12: Another heat advisory in effect before inland thunderstorms return
