* WHAT...Heat index values up to 98 degrees expected. * WHERE...Western Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties. * WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Record setting high temperatures are quite possible through Wednesday, with maximum heat indices nearing 100 degrees during peak heating each afternoon. Given the intensity of this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not acclimated to it yet and therefore impacts could be greater if precautions are not taken. Showers and some thunderstorms arrive later Wednesday afternoon and evening which will break this early season heat.
