Narrative:

On takeoff roll we received a wing overheat warning message at about 120 knots. My eyes moved to look at the EICAS screen as soon as I heard the aural triple chime. I realized that we had a problem and it took a split second for my hands to react to what I was seeing and begin the abort procedure. Somewhere in the middle of my processing the first officer called out 'V1' but my hands and feet were already beginning the abort procedure. I applied maximum braking and thrust reversers and we were able to stop the aircraft safely on the runway with plenty of room to spare. We exited the runway and returned to the gate. Maintenance performed the high speed abort inspection with no defects noted. They also replaced the faulty sensor that caused the warning and we were able to depart a couple hours later without incident.the incredibly poor timing of a warning message on the takeoff roll and my slightly less than immediate reaction caused us to achieve a speed greater than V1 during the abort. Contributing factors were the distractions of weather; unfamiliar airport configuration; and fatigue due to what amounted to a 9 hour sit at the airport prior to the flight.the only way it could have been done safer is if my reaction had been instantaneous. Recognizing and including the fatigue from the day's events in the takeoff brief may have helped in maintaining the vigilance necessary to perform the abort faster.
