Upper-90s to near-100-degree highs arrive in the Baltimore area on Wednesday, with humidity pushing the heat index to 100 to 106 degrees.
Thursday and Friday turn more dangerous as the heat index approaches 110, raising risks for anyone spending extended time outdoors.
Isolated afternoon storms are possible Wednesday, even with mostly sunny skies, as humidity builds after a comfortable Tuesday night.
