The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a heat advisory…which is in effect until 7 PM CDT /8 PM EDT/ this evening.
Temperatures rising into the low 90s and dewpoints in the middle 70s will allow the heat index to increase to 100 to 105 this afternoon. With nearly calm winds and ample sunshine…conditions will be quite oppressive this afternoon and early evening.
Isolated thunderstorms may provide some cooling…though location and timing of these storms is uncertain at this time.
Precautionary/preparedness actions…
A heat advisory means that a period of high temperatures is expected. The combination of heat and humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids…stay in an air-conditioned room…stay out of the sun…and check up on relatives and neighbors. Bring pets indoors and provide plenty of water for them as well.
