...HEAT INDEX VALUES 100 TO 105 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON...

A warm front will move east across central Indiana this morning.
A hot and humid air mass in the wake of the front will result
in afternoon temperatures in the 90s and dew point temperatures
in the lower 70s. This will result in heat index values 100 to
105 degrees this afternoon, highest across the Wabash Valley.

If you have outdoor activities planned for today, be sure to take
precautions to guard against heat related illness. Drink plenty
of water, wear light weight light colored clothing, and take
frequent breaks in an air conditioned environment when possible.
