The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Watch that includes the entire State of Ohio.

The Extreme Heat Watch goes from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday night.

Dangerously hot conditions are expected with heat index values above 100 likely.

Health officials point out that consecutive days of excessive heat and humidity combined with little relief overnight due to very warm low temperatures can be especially hazardous.

The hot conditions will likely continue into Wednesday and beyond.

People are advised to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
