This combined with intense heating at the surface into the middle/upper 90s will allow for scattered showers/thunderstorms to develop across inland southeastern Georgia with storm movement toward the southwest, possibly getting into the Suwannee River valley during the evening hours. Some of the stronger storms may have gusty winds of 40-50 miles per hour. Heat index will once again top out close to 105 degrees.
