The heat indices for Thursday just keep going up.

Heat indices on Thursday afternoon and early evening are expected to be around 100 degrees with some areas southwest of Wichita in the 100 to 105 degree range, according to the National Weather Service in Wichita.

Heat indices are determined when relative humidity is factored into actual air temperatures. Think of them as "what it feels like" temperatures.
