Tomorrow will be like today but temps heat up into the mid 90s.

Thursday could be the hottest day in 5 years as temps reach 100°. Storms return in the afternoon but with better coverage from Jacksonville to areas southward.

The heat index could climb to 108-100 degrees resulting in heat advisories.

This extreme heat will break down Friday into the weekend as SE flow and afternoon storms increase.
