One day of serious heat and humidity











During the wintertime we often talk about the "1-2 Punch" being the snow and cold. However, the 1-2 Punch this time of year is the heat and humidity. Two things that will be seen in abundance in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin on Tuesday. Air temperatures are expected to surge to 91° but inside a locked car the temperature can get to 130°! Never leave a child or pet in an un-airconditioned car...even for a minute or two.

If you've ever been to the Gulf Coast during the summertime, you know what 70° dewpoints feel like. Don't go anywhere on Tuesday, we'll have it here! When we factor the "feels like" temperature on Tuesday afternoon, it'll likely be 95-98°. Take it easy and make plans to get your strenuous work done in the morning or late-evening. -ERIC­
