Yellow Alert Weather on Tuesday through Thursday for dangerous heat and humidity

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The heat is starting to build into the region on Monday with humidity levels inching up as well. 

There will be a hazy sun on Monday afternoon with an isolated storm possible during the heat of the day. It will be warm and muggy in the 70s on Monday night.

Hotter and more oppressive weather is on the way, so a Yellow Alert is up for dangerous heat on Tuesday. Those conditions will persist into Wednesday and Thursday as the Yellow Alert will be up for three days to account for the upcoming heatwave.

Expect temperatures near record levels in the afternoon with Heat Index reading over 100 degrees possible during the afternoons. Take it slow and easy if working outdoors and keep an eye on elderly friends and relatives, especially anyone without air conditioning.

Some relief arrives Friday into the weekend. Stay tuned to News10NBC for the latest on the hot weather and thunder threat this week
