10 days in a row with daytime highs of at least 96° is about to come an end. For some of us it will be with a bang as afternoon and evening thunderstorms return to the skies over Jacksonville. This streak of heat has only been bested by an extreme streak of heat way back in 1875!

Here's more on the 10 day record heat streak.
