A few storms are possible today with 35% coverage with clouds/sun.
Given intense heating & waterloading, I can't rule out an isolated severe storm. It would tend to be in the form of an isolated microburst with potential of some sub-severe hail. These storm will tend to pulse up & collapse. In that collapsing process, a random, sudden microburst cannot be ruled out. Quick, very heavy rainfall would occur as well.
Highs of 85-92 are likely with humid to muggy conditions. Heat indices should run 90-100.
There may be a few more than what the model indicates.
