Oppressive Heat Through Thursday; Heat Advisory In Effect

Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories are in effect for much of this week. High heat and humidity will combine to produce heat index values between 103 and 110 degrees each afternoon. Overnight low temperatures will also remain very warm, providing little relief. Temperatures should cool slightly by Friday as a front moves into the area.

Hot and humid conditions will dominate our weather for much of the week. There will be a few chances for thunderstorms over the next few days before slightly cooler air arrives later this week. For safety purposes, take precautions while outdoors this week to avoid heat related illnesses.

With heat index values expected to range from 103 to 110 degrees this week, keep these tips in mind to help keep yourself and others safe from the heat.
