MIDWAY, Fl. (WTXL) -- Sweltering heat continues after the Fourth of July with little opportunity for cooling until the weekend.
Wednesday: With high pressure still in control just to our east, it will help keep the area mainly sunny early on. The sea breeze is still expected to move in later this afternoon, promoting cloud cover and a few showers/storms (rain coverage around 30%).
After morning lows start off in the lower to upper 70s, afternoon highs are forecast to soar to the mid and upper 90s!
In addition, the low level moisture will make it feel even hotter, with heat index values approaching 105°! It is crucial that you limit sun exposure and stay hydrated in heat like this.
