Heat, humidity continues Wednesday with showers and storms likely this afternoon and evening

WASHINGTON - Rinse and repeat! That's the headline for today's forecast.

FOX 5's Sue Palka says it's another very warm and tropically humid day as temperatures rise from the 70s this morning to the upper 80s to near 90 degree this afternoon.

Scattered downpours and thunderstorms are expected again this afternoon and evening. Like yesterday, not everyone will see these downpours, but if you get under one expect torrential rain.

Later this week it will be less hot but still on the humid side. We are still expecting to dodge downpours on a daily basis for the rest of the work week.
