Heat Advisory: Wednesday Will Feel Like at Least 100 Degrees

Summer officially arrives this evening and heat will continue through Thursday.

The first day of summer is pouring on the heat. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m. for Northern Virginia, as well as the surrounding Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas.

Temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-to-high 90s, but high humidity will make it feel as hot as 105 degrees, forecasters say.
