This heatwave, the second of the summer, is expected to last through mid-week. The combination of high temperatures and humidity makes conditions particularly dangerous.

Humidity: The Silent Killer

High humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, hindering the body's natural cooling process. This can lead to heat exhaustion and other health problems.

Storms and Flooding on the Horizon

Relief is in sight, but it arrives with a potential for severe storms and flooding on Wednesday and Thursday. Two or more inches of rain could fall in short periods, increasing the risk of flooding.
