Expect just some subtle changes in Wednesday's forecast as we continue to focus on heat, humidity, and afternoon storms. The slight change is how the coverage of storms will become more isolated as drier air starts to work in; the storms that do develop will be mostly focused inland and capable of torrential rain and frequent lightning.
Before storms develop, sunshine will help temperatures soar into the low to mid-90s with feels-like temperatures running between 102 and 107 degrees.
