Another heat wave is here, readers. The combination of heat and humidity (it's expected to reach 95 today) is expected to push the heat index to 100-105. This wave is going to stay a while, giving us air quality alerts, as well. Drink plenty of water and stay cool. For anyone heading to Pitchfork today, the cooling stations set up there will be available again today. Use them, if you need to.
