There have been no changes when it comes to the heat alerts for the local area. All Stateline counties remain under an Extreme Heat Warning until 12AM Thursday night.
Another hot summer day is on tap for northern Illinois, with afternoon highs climbing back into the low 90s under a mixture of sun and clouds. A warm wind out of the southwest will continue to pull in humid air, leaving dew points temperatures in the low 70s. That added moisture will make it feel even hotter, with heat index values hovering around the triple-digit mark this afternoon.
Like you've done the past few days, be sure to take frequent breaks in the shade or A/C if you have to be outside for a prolonged period of time. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids not including alcoholic or carbonated/caffeinated beverages.
