The heat wave persists in Central Indiana again Thursday. Here's when it will be the hottest
The hot weather continues in Central Indiana as we enter day four of the heat advisory.
On Thursday, temperatures will once again peak in the low 90s, but it may feel even hotter with a heat index value of 100, according to Aaron Updike, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
"Temperatures will be quickly rising this morning into the afternoon with highs around 90 to 92 across Central Indiana," Updike said. "With that, we are expecting some pretty high dew points and therefore humidity as well with dew points in the low 70s today. That should lead to heat index values around 100, so definitely a hot one out there. Especially for those without any kind of air conditioning."
There are chances of showers and thunderstorms later in the day, but it is expected to mostly impact the northern half of the state.

The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories. The peak of the season is Sept. 10, with the most activity happening between mid-August and mid-October, according to the Hurricane Center. Hurricane season starts June 1 in the Atlantic basin. Systems currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center include: Tropical cyclone is the generic term used by the National Weather Service, NOAA and the National Hurricane Center for any tropical system, even if it's in the tropical Atlantic basin. To be more precise, a tropical cyclone is a "rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation," NOAA said. Once maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, what it is called is determined by where it originated: : for storms in the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific. : for storms in the Northwest Pacific. : for storms in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.
