FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Today will be the last despite the heat and humidity continuing on this week. We have been downgraded to a Heat Advisory today as the heat index should drop below 100° and highs will stay around 90° for the rest of the week. Each afternoon will also feature pop-up showers and thunderstorms. This would also temporarily cool down areas that see these pop-ups, but not everyone across 21Country will get rain each day.

Surely that can’t be true?” FWACC wrote in a Facebook post.
