Hot for the Fourth and fifth, then storms

The hottest day this week is Wednesday, highs in the 90s and the heat index in the low 90s. The heat breaks with showers / storms Wednesday night into Thursday. The cold front is strong, but timing and other dynamics are not favorable at this time for widespread severe weather. Showers could linger into Thursday, highs will be in the 70s to end the week.
