NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After a day with below average temperatures and low humidity, things are about to change as we head towards Independence Day!
Humidity and temperatures are climbing today, and by tomorrow heat indices (what it feels like) across the NewsChannel 5 coverage area are expected to climb between 105-110 degrees, with actual air temperatures in the upper 90s.
Because of this much of the area will be under a Heat Advisory Wednesday from 1pm-7pm.
With many 4th of July activities planned outdoors the next several days it is very important to remain hydrated, take freaking breaks from outdoors, and listen to your body when out in the heat as to avoid heat related illnesses.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
