Hot and humid conditions will prevail across central and southeast
Illinois through Saturday. High temperatures will climb into the
middle 90s while afternoon heat index readings will approach 100
degrees both today and Saturday. A cold front will bring temporary
relief from the heat by Sunday.

If working outside over the next couple of days, be sure to drink
plenty of water, wear loose-fitting and light-colored clothing, and
take frequent breaks in air-conditioned locations. Be sure to check
on those most vulnerable to the heat...including children and the
elderly. Provide shade and fresh water for outdoor pets and livestock,
and check the backseat of your vehicle when transporting children.
