The mid 90s this afternoon will combine with the high humidity levels to produce “feels like” temps from 105-110 degrees.

Scattered storms will develop after 3:00 p.m. with a few strong to severe storms possible. The biggest risk will be wind gusts to 60 mph along with hailstones up to 1.00″ in diameter.
