Wednesday starts warm and humid with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 70s. It already feels like the low 80s early, so the day gets going with a little extra stickiness before the heat really builds.
By afternoon, the sun stays in control for most of the day as temperatures climb to a high near 92. South-southwest wind will run around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 23 mph. Rain chances stay low through the daylight hours at about 25%, but the heat will be the bigger story, with feels like temperatures pushing near 100.
