Welcome to the beginning of a multi-day stretch of stuffy conditions. Heat indices already nearing 100 degrees in Central Indiana and most top out at that mark for several hours this afternoon.
The Heat Advisory technically begins Friday at 10am and lasts until Saturday at 8pm. But it will be plenty uncomfortable prior and after that time frame.
While heat steals the headlines, and rightfully so, remember we’ll dealing with locally heavy storms Friday into Sunday afternoon.
We’re monitoring a storm complex over Lake Michigan and it’s possible by late day it could approach the far northern and northeastern portions of the WTHR viewing area… including cities like Peru, Marion and possibly as far south as Kokomo.
This places Central Indiana in the firing line Friday into the weekend. While there’s a daily storm chance there will also plenty ample dry time to allow highs to jump into the 90s with dangerous heat indices in the 100 to 110 range.
Stay safe and take the heat seriously this weekend friends – Sean Ash
