CLEVELAND — A very warm and muggy Wednesday morning, with many locations approaching the upper 80s before noon, but it will feel more like the upper 90s with the heat index.

Temperatures will remain well into the 90s for highs through the end of this week. It's going to remain incredibly humid too. I'm talking southern, Gulf Coast-type humidity. High heat + high humidity = dangerous heat. It will feel like triple digits for at least three straight days, something Northeast Ohio does not see often in any given summer.

Better rain chances look to return by the holiday weekend, unfortunately. It is still too soon to talk specifics, but we will keep you posted about impacts to Fourth of July plans!
