With sweltering temperatures, heat indices of 115 degrees, Chicago could see some of the hottest days in 10 years this week.
The NWS has issued an excessive heat watch for Wednesday and Thursday, for all of Northeastern Illinois and Northwestern Indiana. An"excessive heat watch" -- which means dangerous heat is possible -- will likely lead to excessive heat warnings and advisories in the coming days, Jeanes said.
"Extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particular for those working in outdoor activities," the alert added. According to forecast models, thunderstorms may develop over Lake Michigan Wednesday and Thursday, potentially disrupting the hot air mass.
