A heat advisory is in effect for City through Friday evening, with temperatures expected to rise sharply in the afternoon as forecasters warn a combination of heat and humidity could make it feel as hot as 105 degrees in parts of the city.

After a few days of cooler weather, the heat and humidity are set to return, prompting city officials to declare a heat advisory for Friday. The advisory runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. as daytime temperatures are expected to reach the mid-90s.

Sweltering and "dangerous" heat with indices surpassing 100 degrees Fahrenheit across parts of nine states has prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue warnings for millions of Americans.
