Dangerous heat moves in Wednesday

It's another warm and sticky night across the region, with temperatures only slipping into the lower 70s by daybreak. A few clouds will drift overhead, but all in all we'll stay rain free. The real change arrives Wednesday as a large area of high pressure strengthens over the Southeast. That weather pattern acts like a lid on the atmosphere, allowing temperatures to climb even higher. Many locations will reach the upper 90s, with little relief from the sunshine. Outside of a few storms over the mountains, rain will be hard to come by.
