It's shaping up to be a hot week in Michiana. Estimates from the National Weather Service project highs in the upper 80s and low 90s from Friday through Sunday.
The hot temperatures accompany a recent dry spell, with little to no rain on the horizon. In extreme heat, officials advise residents to hydrate and to avoid overly exerting activities.
There is a chance of scattered thunderstorms on Wednesday, but any significant rain is unlikely. The NWS radar shows temperatures will likely drop down into the 70s by next week.
