HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AND NORTHWEST INDIANA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LITTLE RELIEF IS EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT AS LOWS WILL STAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S...TO RIGHT
AROUND 80 NEAR DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY. THESE TEMPERATURES...
COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S WILL RESULT IN
HEAT INDEX VALUES CLIMBING ABOVE 100 DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
BECAUSE OF THE SOUTHWESTERLY WIND COMPONENT...THIS DANGEROUS HEAT
WILL ALSO IMPACT AREAS NEAR THE LAKE.

COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS
A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A SITUATION IN
WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY
IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON
RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

CHILDREN AND PETS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN VEHICLES
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE DURING HOT
WEATHER WHEN THE CAR INTERIOR CAN REACH DANGEROUSLY HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN A MATTER OF MINUTES!
