If you're planning on being outdoors this Memorial Day, you may want to think again.
Heat indices will reach as high as 108° on Monday as the summer heat wave ramps into full gear. Actual air temperatures will reach the lower 90s. All of that has led the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory for Southeast Louisiana until 8 p.m.
We could see some spotty showers and thunderstorms later today into the early evening hours. Those storms could comes with high wind gusts, but those showers and storms will be isolated in nature. Precipitation chances are around 40 percent.
The high heat and humidity will stick around through tomorrow. We'll get some minor relief later in the week when air temperatures dip below the 90° mark, but high humidity will keep heat indices near the triple digits.
