Heatwave This Week

Rain Chances This Week

Heat Safety

A prolonged heatwave will impact the region this week. A Heat Advisory remains in effect through Thursday (Extreme Heat Warning in Perry County IL). It is becoming increasingly likely that heat headlines may need extended through the coming weekend across at least portions of our area. Heat index readings will top out above 100 each afternoon, and may flirt with 110 in some areas.

Chances for showers and storms may return to portions of our northeast counties Tuesday evening/night and expand across more of our area Wednesday into Thursday. A few severe storms are possible during these periods with damaging winds the main threat. Portions of our region may miss out on this activity and remain dry this week.
