Another oppressive day for heat index values is in store for the area today, especially over the central and southeastern portions of the Four-State Region. A lack of cloud cover, combined with the influence of a strong upper level ridge of high pressure, will again push afternoon high temperatures into the mid and upper 90s with high humidity allowing heat index values to peak between 105-115 degrees this afternoon. Therefore, the entire region remains under a Heat Advisory or Excessive Heat Warning through 7PM this evening.
With Heat Advisory and Excessive Heat Warning weather headlines this week, please remember to exercise extreme caution while spending any extended time outdoors. Be sure to heed these heat safety reminders!
Very hot and humid conditions are expected again today with afternoon high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. Combined with the high humidity levels, maximum heat indices will range from 105 to 115 degrees. Isolated showers and possibly a few thunderstorms will be possible today across extreme eastern portions of the region, which may offer a brief respite from the heat.
