WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with peak afternoon heat index
values of around 100 with a maximum up to around 105.
* WHERE...Portions of northern Indiana, southwest Michigan, and
northwest Ohio.
* WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Heat related illnesses increase significantly during
extreme heat and high humidity events, particularly if they
persist for several days in a row.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Cumulative effects of long-duration heat will

little relief, especially for vulnerable populations.

the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and

shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
