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.

Air Quality Alert Issued
An air quality advisory is in effect due to elevated levels of air pollution. Sensitive groups like the elderly, children, and those with respiratory conditions should take precautions.
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.
