Heat and humidity return on Thursday, with heat index values climbing well into the 90s in many areas. A Heat Advisory is in effect for a portion of the area. You know the drill, take plenty of breaks in the shade/AC, stay hydrated, and never leave children or pets in the car.

It's looking like another warm and humid day across western and north-central New York. We're expecting heat indices to reach the low to mid-90s, particularly in areas like the Niagara Frontier, Lower Genesee Valley, and the Finger Lakes region.
