SUMMARY: Driving in extremely hot temperatures causes roadways and tires to heat up, leading to increased tire pressure and a higher risk of popping. This is why more popped tires are seen on interstates during summer. Gary Gardner from Southern Tire Mart advises drivers to check air pressures and the age of their tires before hitting the road for safety. Additionally, Southern Tire Mart offers free tire inspections for those unsure about their tire condition.

More showers are expected tonight, with heavy rain moving through various counties. This pattern will continue into early Thursday morning, though most storms will be non-severe. Thursday will be cooler with highs expected around 89°F, although it will feel warmer due to humidity. Friday will see isolated pop-up storms with highs back in the mid-90s, reverting to a typical summertime pattern. By the weekend, temperatures will rise again, hitting mid-90s with heat indices around 100-105°F. Tropics are being monitored for potential developments.
