Dangerous heat index 108, storms after 1 PM
High near 92 with heat index values to 108, south wind 5 to 10 mph through midday. Storms with heavy rain possible after 1 PM, new rainfall a quarter to half inch. Thick humidity builds fast once the sun climbs.
In town today: Captain Mike & The Shipwrecked at The Charleston Music Hall, 8 PM. Live music starts at 8 PM downtown, a solid option once the storms clear and the heat eases.
