Heat Advisory This Weekend, With Chance Of Rain Ahead

Heat advisories were issued Friday afternoon (July 17) for Monroe County, and nearby communities in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio. The combination of high temperatures and high humidity will create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Right now, I have us landing at 99° and feeling like 110°.

Wednesday night: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, low around 62. Even in 70 degree weather, the inside temperature of a vehicle can increase to over 100 degrees in just 20 minutes, city officials said. However, highs never drop below 94°. Check out the National Weather Service heat index. Unfortunately, that’s not going to change.

A heat advisory is in effect in Mercer, Burlington and some other counties west of Monmouth and Ocean.

Corvallis: Saturday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 96. Consequently, people living in urban areas may be at greater risk from the effects of a prolonged heat wave than those living in rural areas. Be safe!

The early warning signs of heat stress are decreased energy, slight loss of appetite, faintness, light-headedness and nausea. Later today expect hot, humid and breezy conditions with highs in the upper 90s.
