Brace For Sweltering Heat And Strong Storms This Week

UNDATED (WJON News) -- A very active weather pattern continues over the next several days.

Hot and Humid conditions and severe weather are expected for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hot and humid conditions on Tuesday will lead to very warm heat indices in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Be sure to take it easy, stay hydrated, and keep cool.

Any storm that develops over the next few days will have a favorable potential to become severe.

Strong winds, large hail, and heavy rain are possible.
