Prepare for high heat this week

It has been a warm weekend, but the heat is about to get going strong. Monday still holds the chance for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms as we will be under a marginal risk for strong storms. Temperatures will start in the upper 80s Monday then creep up into the mid 90s Tuesday. Dewpoints will also climb making it feel oppressive outside with heat index values in the triple digits. Have ways to keep cool like dipping in a pool, limiting your time outdoors and spend time in the A/C. Also, stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water. Remember the sunscreen and sunglasses. High temperatures will soar into the mid 90s starting Tuesday and lasting through Thursday. Later week starts to cool down some, but humidity levels will still be high and will be very draining. A Heat Advisory is in effect for western KY, but not in our area yet.
