A Heat Advisory has been issued for Wednesday from 11 AM to 8 PM as heat index values climb to around 105°F. In addition to the dangerous heat, we'll also be monitoring a plume of wildfire smoke from Canada, which will lead to reduced air quality over the next several days. The hottest weather will be Wednesday, with above-average heat continuing through Friday. We'll stay dry for the remainder of the workweek before rain and storm chances return this weekend. Right now, Saturday appears to have the greatest chance for showers and thunderstorms as a shortwave disturbance moves across the Great Lakes.
