KCTV 5:

KCTV5 meteorologist Devon Lucie said that while the actual temperatures will be in the 90s, the heat index in the metro area will be in the triple digits through Wednesday. The heat advisory will be in effect until 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Amanda Waters, a spokeswoman for the Salvation Army, said if the Kansas City Health Department issued a heat warning then it would open its eight area cooling stations. The heat index must reach 105 at Kansas City International Airport by 11:30 a.m. to trigger the warning.
