- after going to the bathroom
- after touching your face
- before preparing food and eating

One of the most significant factors increasing the risk of heat illness is failing to follow safety guidelines when working in hot/humid conditions, particularly as an employer directing the actions of their employees. More information: osha.gov/heat-exposure/

Heat index values today will be 95 to 105. If outside this afternoon, drink plenty of water and spend as much time in the shade as possible. Do not leave children or pets inside vehicles. Rain chances will increase tonight and Thursday. #INwx

A storm complex this morning over northern Indiana should stretch into portions of north-central Indiana. Storms are expected to weaken some as they enter the forecast area but could still produce damaging winds and hail as well as lightning and brief heavy rain. #INwx

If you are camping this weekend, check the forecast before going and know where you can find shelter in case of a storm.
