First Alert Weather: Evening storms and a continuing heat wave

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Here’s what the First Alert Weather Team said you can expect in the Wednesday evening forecast and beyond:

Storms will be scattered across the area – including *some* of the beaches into early this evening, followed by clearing skies.
The heat wave continues Thursday-Friday with only isolated afternoon storms. Less than a quarter of the area will get any rain as afternoon temperatures soar to near 100 degrees with feels-like temperatures between 106-113 degrees.
Storms will increase over the weekend, taking a bit of the edge off the heat. Temperatures will still reach the upper 80s to low 90s.
