Warm and muggy conditions settle in for 815 Day

815 Day this year will be a warm one. We'll also see a climb in humidity levels thanks to a more organized southwest wind. This will end up pushing heat indices into the low 90s this afternoon. 


 

 

This climb in heat and humidity will carry on into the weekend as a strong ridge of high pressure settles over the Midwestern U.S. Afternoon highs for the 21st and possibly 22nd time this year will peak in the low 90s, with heat indices ending up close to the triple-digit mark. This hot and uncomfortably humid stretch is expected to linger into the start of next week as we await the passage of our next cold front. Forecast models don't show that occurring until late next Tuesday into Wednesday.
