CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- A couple of weather challenges are ahead. Strong to severe storm potential looms on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings with heavy rainfall, damaging wind and flooding potential as the main threats. Following that challenge is a dangerously hot trend. Very hot temperatures are expected Monday and next week, with the potential for the heat index to exceed 100 degrees on several days as air temperatures range from 90 to 95-degrees.

Heat is the leading weather-related killer in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. Heat can be very taxing on the body and can lead to ” heat related illnesses”  or make existing health conditions worse. Everyone can be vulnerable to heat, but some more so than others.
