Heat, humidity to stick around through Monday

National Weather Service heat warning, advisory are extended.

— The National HARRISON Weather Service extended through today an excessive heat warning for Montgomery County and a heat advisory for the rest of the Miami Valley.

Sixty residences in a Harrison Twp. were without power Saturday. Dayton Power & Light said the residences were all in the area of the Meadows of Catalpa, a 323-unit apartment complex on Indian Run in Harrison Twp.

The utility company planned to have the outage, reported at 2 p.m., back in service by the end of the day, spokesman Tom Tatham said. The repair was delayed because equipment was needed to fix an underground fuse, he said.

The continued combination of high humidity with seasonal summer temperatures is expected to result in more of the same steamy conditions that have been heating the area for the past week.

“When the two are factored together, our heat indices are near 100 degrees, if not a few degrees hotter. This trend will continue through the weekend and the start of the new week,” WHIO meteorologist Carrieann Marit said Saturday.

The good news is relief, however minor, could be coming Tues-
