FORECAST: Temperatures expected to reach nearly 90 degrees as heat continues to build
FORECAST:
The building of more heat could lead to isolated thunderstorms.
Storms are trying to get going, and we will see a few, but not as many as we had yesterday.
Meanwhile, rain chances drop off dramatically tomorrow, and that will allow the heat to push us to near 90 degrees.
Rain opportunities will pick up again by the end of the week and into the weekend.

Drivers told don't leave common item in car before Wednesday
Motorists have been warned to avoid leaving one dangerous item in their car this week. Another heatwave is set to roast the UK this week with temperatures reaching 34C, reports The Met Office predicted that parts of England are "likely to reach heatwave criteria by midweek", and weather maps predict that much of the UK will enjoy temperatures above 25C. READ MORE: 18 counties in England set to escape 32C heatwave this week Get breaking news on BirminghamLive WhatsApp, click the link to join According to weather maps by WXCharts, the hottest temperatures will be experienced at the border of Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire one day this week. On Wednesday, August 13, Norfolk could peak at 33C, Birmingham will reach 31C, Bath could hit 30C, and London and Surrey will sizzle in 30C. And in searing, 30C-plus temperatures, a retailer has warned about keeping certain products inside a hot car. WickdUp, the rechargeable vape retailer, cautions that lithium-ion batteries inside everyday electronics become dangerously unstable as in-car temperatures climb past 30C. Forgotten devices left on dashboards, seats, or in gloveboxes can quickly transform from harmless gadgets into serious fire hazards. Vapes, power banks, and other gadgets can swell, leak, or even burst into flames when exposed to the sun. Mike Byers, Rechargeable Device Expert at WickdUp, said: 'We've all left a phone or vape in the car at some point. "But in this heat? "That simple habit could spark a disaster. "Take your devices with you — it's a tiny step that could save you thousands.' WickdUp created a summer parking safety checklist that includes always taking rechargeable devices with you - even if you're stepping away for just a few minutes and never leaving electronics in direct sunlight on dashboards or seats. It also urged drivers to avoid storing gadgets in glove compartments, where heat builds rapidly and to check devices regularly for signs of swelling, cracks, or heat damage. Cheap or counterfeit devices are especially risky, and some car insurance policies may not cover fire damage caused by improperly stored electronics. Mike Byers adds: 'Imagine stepping out for five minutes — and coming back to smoke, damage, or worse. "With travel season in full swing, don't let one small mistake ruin your holiday, leave you stranded or write off your car.'
