What to know about heat exhaustion and heat stroke as temperatures climb

ALERTS:

HEAT ADVISORY: Until 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

The hottest day of the week is on the way for Wednesday. The heat builds, and so does the humidity. The combination of the two will make it feel like it's 95-100 degrees during the day. Actual air temperatures are forecasted to be higher for Wednesday, with highs in the low to mid-90s. There is one thing that may impact exactly how hot the temperatures are - Canadian wildfire smoke. Just like today, the sky will take on a hazy appearance from the late morning and into the afternoon. There is also a chance that some of this smoke could make it down to the surface as winds turn northwesterly later in the day.

By Thursday and Friday, there will be drier heat at least. The temperatures ease back into the upper 80s.

Rain arrives for the weekend, so there is a chance some showers or thunderstorms may disrupt plans. Stay with News 12 for updates throughout this week, as there is some uncertainty with the timing of the systems and storms.
