NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Dangerous heat remains the main weather story across the NewsChannel 5 coverage area, and it will remain the story for several more days.
Monday afternoon we will see temperatures flirting with the triple digits while heat indices (what it feels like) will range between 105-109 for some. Because of this a Heat Advisory has been issued until 8pm Monday.
If working outdoors it is extremely important to pay attention to your body feelings such as thirst, dizziness, or fatigue. These are signs of heat related illnesses.
Wednesday our rain chances will increase ahead of a cold front that will bring relief from the extreme heat to end the work week and take us into the weekend.
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
