Get ready for another hot and humid day Thursday — one where it may feel like it is more than 105 degrees. A heat advisory begins for most of the metro area along and east of Interstate 95 at 11 a.m. and lasting through 8 p.m.

Storm Team4 meteorologist Mike Stinneford on Thursday said the heat index, which is how hot it feels outside with the humidity, “may top 105 degrees” Thursday.

“There’s a few question marks around just how humid it gets, and that will affect how hot the air feels and exactly how oppressive it is,” said Dan Hofmann, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “Overall, it definitely looks like a hot few days coming up.”
