Prolonged heat wave settles in

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Forecasters aren't expecting relief from the oppressive heat wave in Wisconsin any time soon.

The combination of soaring temperatures and high humidity will last throughout the week. The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for much of the state until 9 p.m. Monday. Afternoon heat indices will likely exceed 105 degrees.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in the shade or air conditioning for those that have to work outside.
