The heat continues out there tonight and we are now in a Heat Advisory. That will be in effect through Thursday at 8 p.m.

This Advisory is because we expect heat index values above 100° again on Thursday. However, unlike Tuesday and Wednesday, we do not expect to reach values above 105°.

It's important to continue to stay hydrated as we go through the week. Also make sure to give your body a break from the heat especially in the afternoon hours.

Here's what you need to remember about today and the days ahead:

Stay well hydrated
Give your body a break from the heat, especially in the afternoon
Remember that the effects of heat build up over time
Check on elderly neighbors and don't forget about our pets too

Temperatures overnight will only drop into the upper 70s with mostly clear skies. Humidity is what will keep those temperatures warmer than normal.

Thursday will our fourth day in a row above the 90-degree mark, which is the first such streak since last August. Some models are trying to hint at some rain chances late Thursday with a weak cold front, but that chance looks low for now. The better chances will be to our Northeast.

The good news is that this cold front will bring us a break the heat and humidity for the weekend when it finally passes fully through. That isn't expected until Friday afternoon, which means we will still be hot Friday. There may be a few showers or storms early on Friday ahead of that front.

That break this weekend will be much needed as temperatures will be in the upper 70s and low 80s both days. It looks dry as well so plan something fun outside for Father's Day! Overnight lows could fall into the upper 50s Sunday morning as well.

Don't get too excited... There are indications that we are in for another heat wave as we move towards next week.
