A heat advisory will be in effect from 2 p.m. Tuesday through 8 p.m. Thursday across much of central, east central, north central, south central, southeast, southwest and west central Indiana.

Forecasters say peak heat index values may reach 105 degrees each afternoon, with little relief expected overnight. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity may increase the risk of heat‑related illnesses.

Residents are urged to drink plenty of fluids, limit time outdoors and check on neighbors and relatives.
