One reason this heat wave will feel especially impactful is that it's early in the Summer and following a very cool period so we're not acclimated to hot/humid weather yet!

A temperature of 96 deg. F, along with a dew point of 76 deg. F equates to a heat index of 110 deg. F. This is the temperature that it feels like and how the body responds.

There is no single threshold — it depends on the combination of temperature and humidity, expressed as the heat index. The NWS issues heat advisories when the heat index reaches 105°F and excessive heat warnings at 110°F+.

metmike: Next week, starting Monday in Evansville, IN for instance, look for the NWS to issue AT LEAST a heat advisory every day and on some days, especially late in the week an excessive heat warning!
