Heat and Humidity

A very warm and humid air mass will settle over Wisconsin today. The combination of high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s and high humidity will result in heat indices of 90ºF to 97ºF. Although the heat advisories have been cancelled for much of central and east-central Wisconsin, people working outdoor workers and those susceptible to heat (such as the elderly and people without AC) should take proper precautions to stay cool.
