...HOT CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY...

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

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