More Heat And Rain On The Way

STATEWIDE–Aaron Updike is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.

Updike says severe weather is unlikely throughout the rest of the week.

“But as we get into Sunday and Monday, storms are expected to return, so stay up to date with forecasts over the next few days as we get more of an understanding for Sunday and Monday,” said Updike.

Heat index values are supposed to increase soon.

“As the humidity starts to increase Friday into Saturday, we could start seeing heat index values approaching 100 again. We’re definitely above normal for late August,” said Updike.

Updike says most of the state will get high temperatures in the upper 80s towards the end of the week.
