SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – We’re starting to heat up, and tomorrow into the weekend, we’ll surge. We do have a few triple digit feels like temps today to include Beaufort at 103° and Jesup at 101°. On Friday and Saturday afternoon heat index values could climb into the 105 to 112 degree range across the I-95/coastal corridor. Rain chances are also going up, and we definitely need more rain.
