Hot and muggy conditions will push heat index readings above 100 degrees Thursday through Sunday in many locations across southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Do your best to protect yourself against the dangers of summer heat and humidity.

Keep pets well hydrated and provide them shade or shelter inside an air conditioned space if possible.

Of course, be especially careful to not leave a child in a hot vehicle. Look before you lock!
