As you know, the remnants of Hurricane Barry are passing through our area right now. This amount of moisture combined with the approaching heatwave to our west will produce some very high heat indices.
Excessive heat watches have been posted in Illinois but not in Indiana however the NWS has put out a special weather statement.
