...Hot and Humid Conditions across Central Indiana This Afternoon
and Monday afternoon...

High temperatures this afternoon and Monday afternoon will range
from the upper 80s to the lower 90s across central Indiana. In
addition, dewpoint temperatures will be in the 70s. This will
lead to peak afternoon heat index values as high as 100 degrees or
slightly higher at some locals.

Heat index values this high increase the risk of developing heat
illnesses. Dress lightly, drink plenty of fluids, and limit time
outdoors today, and check on the elderly and infirm, as well as
those without access to air conditioning.

Heat illness develops quickly and can overtake you with little
forewarning.
