...Hot Temperatures Today and Thursday Across the Area...

Plenty of sunshine and a dome of heat will sent temperatures into
the low to mid 90s for most of the area today and Thursday. When
combined with higher than normal humidities this results in heat
indices from 95 to 100 degrees for much of eastern Kentucky both
afternoons. There is only scant chances for showers or storms to
provide limited and localized relief through Thursday.

Try to limit time outdoors today during the afternoon, when heat
illness is most likely to occur. If going outdoors, drink plenty
of fluids and take breaks out of the sun.
