WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A heat advisory is still in effect Wednesday for Palm Beach County until 7 p.m. as dangerous heat and humidity combine to produce feels-like temperatures between 105-110 degrees. If you'll be spending time outdoors, drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles, even for a short time.
A few showers and thunderstorms remain possible through the early evening, primarily across northern Palm Beach County, the Lake Okeechobee region and the Treasure Coast, but overall coverage will continue decreasing as we lose daytime heating.

By 8 to 10 p.m., most of the activity should have moved offshore or dissipated, leaving partly cloudy skies overnight.
Temperatures will only fall into the upper 70s, so it will remain warm and humid through Thursday morning.
Thursday is shaping up to be one of the hottest days of the week.
A combination of drier air, Saharan dust, and strengthening high pressure will keep storm chances low across much of South Florida.
That means more sunshine and hotter temperatures.
High temperatures will reach into the mid-90s, but inland locations could briefly push into the upper 90s if storm development remains limited.
Heat index values are expected to reach 104 to 110 degrees, making heat illness a concern during the afternoon.
While an isolated shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out (especially near Lake Okeechobee and northern Palm Beach County) most communities will remain dry.
