HEAT INDEX

If the thermometer reaching 100 degrees wasn’t bad enough, humidity will remain high over the holiday weekend. Humidity delays our bodies from cooling, so it ends up feeling hotter than it actually is.

Heat index values are forecast to range from 105 to 110 degrees. Here’s a look at the forecast afternoon heat index Monday afternoon:
