Areas reach the upper 80s Wednesday afternoon with a couple of spots pushing the 90-degree mark. A few spots could see 90, but it will depend on the timing of cloud cover on Wednesday afternoon.

Temperatures approach 90° for some

Lots of sunshine and warm temperatures mean a very high UV index on Wednesday afternoon. Burn time is only about 15 minutes for the day.
