Heat index values were kept relatively lower on Wednesday due to the periodic cloud cover and isolated gusty storms, mainly along and south of the I-26 corridor. We’ll stay on the quiet side tonight, but overnight lows will only fall into the 70s across the region. With only high clouds expected for much of Thursday morning, expect a fast rise in temperatures through the late morning and afternoon hours.
