"Remember never to drive through flooded roads; doing so can put your life and the others in your car in danger," Pydynowski said.
Drier weather is expected to return by Friday night and continue into Saturday.
The heat will remain with highs near 95 F to start the weekend.
"Humidity will create even higher AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures," Pydynowski said.
