Saturday could make a run for Wednesday’s title of hottest of the year with highs surging back into the mid-to-upper 90s.

With the humidity factored in, the heat index will approach 110 degrees. Storm chances increase by the middle of Saturday afternoon as the sea breezes come together.

Slightly higher storm chances continue for Father’s Day on Sunday, which will help keep the temperatures in the low-to-mid 90s. Mid-to-upper 90s surge back by the middle and latter portion of the upcoming work week.

A disturbance in the extreme western Caribbean now only has a 10% chance to develop. The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.
