It’s going to be a hot and sticky Fourth of July across Central Florida.
Channel 9 meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said highs on Thursday are set to be in the mid-90s but feel like up to 110.
“Get ready for the heat,” she said.
Crimi said there's a 40 percent chance of storms in the afternoon mostly along I-4 and to the west. She said most of the storms will stay away from the beaches and should clear up after 8 p.m. -- just in time for fireworks.
Wednesday brought extreme heat advisories across Central Florida, and Crimi said new advisories could be issued for Thursday afternoon.
