The high temperature was forecasted at 92 degrees for Wednesday.
Scattered storms will be around with the Laurels and places along and north of I-80 having the best chance for rain and storms. That rain is needed as the past month and a half has seen below-average rain totals.
When it comes to the stretch of 90-degree weather, today will likely make the sixth day in a row with highs in the 90s. The last time this happened was in 2012 when the streak also reached six days.
Thre is still a chance to see eight straight days in the 90s, something that has not happened in a quarter of a century.
