Tinley Park, Illinois – Residents across the Chicago metropolitan area should prepare for dangerously hot and humid conditions starting this weekend and continuing through Monday. Peak afternoon heat indices are expected to exceed 100°F, posing a significant health risk.
According to the US National Weather Service Chicago Illinois, hot and humid conditions are in the forecast from Saturday through Monday. High temperatures will range from the low to mid-90s, but with high humidity, the “feels like” temperature will be much higher. An isolated storm or two could occur this afternoon from Chicago into northwest Indiana, but the weekend is expected to be dry.
These extreme temperatures can lead to heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Everyone should take precautions, including staying hydrated, seeking air-conditioned environments, and avoiding strenuous outdoor activities, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Check on vulnerable neighbors and ensure pets have access to shade and water.
The highest temperatures are expected Saturday through Monday, with highs reaching 91-94°F on Saturday, 92-96°F on Sunday, and 93-96°F on Monday. Overnight lows will remain warm, only dropping into the mid-70s, offering little relief. Warnings and advisories related to the heat are likely to be issued.
