High temperatures will range between 90 and 93 from Wednesday through Friday. That's just above the normal or average highs that are in the mid and upper 80s this time of year.

The humidity each day will make it feel even hotter. The heat index is forecast to top out in the upper 90s to near 100 each day through the rest of this week.

The chance for even an isolated afternoon shower is less than 20 percent for Wednesday and Thursday. We'll have just a slightly higher chance for a few late day storms Friday and Saturday.

Afternoon highs are still forecast to be near 90 through the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
