Dangerous Heat Wave Looms | Baton Rouge News

Buckle up — a brutal heat wave is hitting with temps in the low to mid 90s and heat indexes soaring to 105-108 degrees. Isolated storms won’t bring much relief, and by Tuesday, a high-pressure ridge will slam the brakes on rain, leaving many areas bone dry through Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, three Atlantic systems are being monitored, with one having a 60% chance of forming — but no immediate Gulf Coast threats. Health officials warn: stay hydrated, avoid the sun’s peak, and keep fans running — this heat is here to stay with little relief in sight.
