Morning News Recap: Three arrested following disruption at Jacksonville City Hall
First Alert Weather headline: Heat and humidity with a few afternoon storms. Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh says we're nearing an all-time May record for the number of days at/above 90 degrees. An isolated shower/storm will likely develop between 3 and 5 pm. Highs will stay in the lower to mid 90s tomorrow. The weekend is looking mainly dry with highs in the mid to upper 80s and lower humidity.
Three Big Things to Know:
A drive-thru argument spills over into gunfire at a Deerwood Dunkin Donuts. Jacksonville police say a woman was shot multiple times around 5:30 pm yesterday as she was walking away from a car in the drive-thru. Police say the suspect fired two times, hitting the woman in the shoulder and back of the head, before fleeing. The vehicle was later stopped on the northside and the suspect was taken into custody.
Jacksonville International Airport's hourly garage is considered a crime scene, as federal investigators look into what started a fire nearly two weeks ago. Once the cause of the fire is determined, construction crews will begin to work their way through the third and fourth floors, assess the damage, and decide how the structure can be repaired.
A local family is grieving after their loved one was killed in a hit and run at the Walgreens on Merrill Road. It's a story we followed throughout the morning yesterday. Family members identify the victim as 40-year-old Brandon Venegas. No suspect or vehicle description was provided by police.

Storms will be capable of very heavy rain, causing some flooding, frequent lightning, and strong wind gusts. A few storms could linger well past sunset Saturday night. Showers and storms will continue at times Sunday with a stalled front nearby. This will keep abundant cloud cover and rain around, which will give 'cooler' than average temperatures. An overall wet pattern continues into next week with daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This weekend, 1-3″ of rain is likely in many neighborhoods, especially across SE GA. Locally higher amounts of 3-4″ are possible. TROPICS: No active storms and no areas of concern for now.

Chicago weather today includes flash flooding possibility as strong storms with heavy rain move through
A Flood Watch has been issued for the Chicago area as a line of thunderstorm races east, bringing heavy lightning and torrential rainfall. There is a threat of flash flooding with these storms that originated to the west and are moving east-northeast at about 25 miles per hour. This round of thunderstorms will be followed by another round of less severe, but equally rainy, storms Wednesday afternoon, with rain continuing overnight and into Thursday morning. A Flood Watch is in effect for Boone, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Will, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Kankakee, La Salle, Lake, Livingston and McHenry counties in Illinois and Benton, Jasper, Lake, Newton and Porter counties in Indiana until 1 p.m. Thursday. A Flood Advisory is in effect for Grundy, Kankakee, Livingston and Will counties until 3:45 p.m. The first line of storms, that developed to the west around 11 a.m., have brought torrential rainfall and a huge amount of lightning, with over 300 strikes recorded around noon in one cell alone. Lightning frequency is measured in 10 minute increments, so that means that cell is producing around 30 strikes per minute or one lightning strike every other second. The storms also have the potential for wind gusts over 40 miles per hour. See the latest 7-day forecast from our First Alert Weather team The path of the first round of storms has changed slightly, riding a boundary of higher atmospheric energy from Channahon to Park Forest, so the worst of the storm is now excepted to stay south of the city of Chicago. After these storms have left the area, another round of storms is expected to develop. They are not expected to be severe in a widespread way, but could be stronger along the I-80 corridor into Northwest Indiana. These storms are expected between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., and will also bring heavy rain. That rain continues overnight and into Thursday morning as a cold front arrives, breaking the oppressive heat and humidity and gives way to a much cooler and nicer weekend. Temperatures will start falling into the 70s by mid-afternoon Wednesday. There is also a Beach Hazards Statement in place for all beaches along Lake Michigan from 1 p.m. Wednesday through 4 p.m. Friday. High waves and dangerous rip currents make the lake a hazard for boaters and swimmers alike, so it is advised to stay out of the water. While rain will end by Thursday morning and is not forecast over the weekend for Lollapalooza, festivalgoers should plan on getting muddy if they're going to be there tomorrow. Once the storms have passed, highs in the 70s or low 80s and sunny skies are forecast through Monday.

Tough heat wave to develop across Maryland, storm chances increase
Our next heat wave of summer should begin today across much of Maryland. This will be the first 90-degree day of many through the middle of next week. The toughest stretch of this heat and humidity will come Friday through Tuesday with Friday and Tuesday obtaining the highest feels like temperatures. A major pattern change toward cooler and more comfortable weather will take place the second half of next week. So hang in there during this brutal heat wave, there is major relief that will be arriving by this time next week. Today's high temperatures will reach the lower 90s with heat index values topping out in the middle 90s. Humidity levels will continue to climb this afternoon into this evening. Despite the heat and humidity, the good news there won't be any thunderstorms to disrupt outdoor work or activities. Overnight lows tonight will not be as refreshing with temperatures only dipping down into the middle 70s. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued First Alert Weather Days Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the one-two punch of intense heat and possible afternoon and evening severe storms. Friday will be one of the toughest days of this upcoming heat wave. High temperatures are forecast to reach the upper 90s to near 100°. Tropical levels of humidity will make the heat feel even worse and possibly dangerous. Feels like temperatures will easily surpass 100° with some isolated locations reaching nearly 110°. The weekend will feature more brutal heat and tropical humidity. While weekend temperatures may not be as high as Friday with additional clouds and thunderstorms, the combination of higher humidity will offset temperatures being slightly cooler in the lower to middle 90s. This heat wave will continue right into the middle of next week with another round of dangerous heat likely Tuesday as highs climb into the middle to upper 90s with feels like temperatures reaching 105° or higher. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has tagged Tuesday as a possible First Alert Weather Day for this brief round of potentially dangerous heat. Next Wednesday will be another hot and steamy day, but scattered strong thunderstorms that arrive later in the day should officially break this heat wave. Strong to severe thunderstorms will begin to form in this incredibly hot and muggy airmass starting Friday afternoon. The coverage of strong to severe storms will grow each day through Sunday. The storm threat should briefly end by Monday and Tuesday of next week. Friday afternoon and evening storm coverage should be isolated. More places than not will stay dry, but the best chance for a few powerful storms will be across northern and northeastern Maryland. The timeline would be after 3 p.m. through 11 p.m. Any storm could have intense cloud to ground lightning, blinding downpours, and pockets of damaging winds. As a weak boundary stalls across the area this weekend, additional thunderstorms will develop Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening. During the weekend, the entire state is game for the possibility of strong to severe storms. Storms will produce copious amounts of clouds to ground lightning along with torrential downpours given the high tropical humidity levels and intense heat. Storm coverage on Saturday will be isolated to widely scattered. Numerous afternoon and evening strong thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon and evening. The jet stream position will favor a major pattern change for our area starting Thursday of next week and continuing through next weekend. The large and expansive heat dome will be pushed to our south and southwest allowing cooler air from Canada to put an end to the heat and humidity for at least several days. While it will be cooler late next week into next weekend, disturbances will spark off scattered showers and storms from time to time. Luckily none of the days look like washouts.
