Monday: Mostly Cloudy. High 70. NW 5-15 mph.
weather team has issued a Weather Alert Day for June 17 as temperatures are expected to reach above 90 degrees.
Temperatures will be rising later this week ahead of our first expected heat wave of the season. For a heat wave to occur, there needs to be three consecutive days of at least 90-degree weather. Next week, central Ohio could experience at least five days of excessive heat. Temperatures will be hot this weekend, but humidity levels should be low enough to avoid issuing any excessive heat warnings.
An Excessive Heat Warning is issued within 12 hours of the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions. The general rule of thumb for this Warning is when the maximum heat index temperature is expected to be 105° or higher for at least 2 days and nighttime air temperatures will not drop below 75°; however, these criteria vary across the country, especially for areas not used to extreme heat conditions.
