Wednesday’s forecast calls for increasing humidity with a high of 92. But Channel 9 meteorologists said temperatures may start feeling between 3 and 6 degrees warmer than the thermometer shows.

"It's only going to get hotter," meteorologist Brian Shields said.
Shields said  even without the heat index, the Memorial Day forecast calls for highs at or near 100 across the Sunshine State.
