Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible. Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) of Severe Weather for most of the area on Wednesday. Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) of Excessive Rainfall for most of the area on Wednesday.

Partly cloudy skies with hot and humid conditions. High temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s with heat indices in the 90s/100s. An isolated strong storm or two cannot be ruled out in northern areas in the afternoon/evening.

Mostly cloudy and humid with patchy fog possible. An isolated strong storm can’t be ruled out in the Piney Woods overnight.

Summer-like temperatures expected into midweek. Heat index values in the upper 90s to low 100s. A Moderate HeatRisk affects those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling/hydration, and some health systems and industries.
