The next few days will be spicy…but relief from the heat is in the not too distant future.
There will be a chance for showers and thunderstorms late tonight for portions of Central Indiana.
Then another chance for precipitation Saturday and Sunday.
We are in the dog days of summer and Hank wants to remind you to ensure pets have plenty of water and a way to stay cool.
