The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory today due to hot temperatures and high humidity that could lead to heat illnesses.

Today is going to be a scorcher in Marblehead, with heat index values up 101 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The NWS issued a heat advisory early this morning that is in effect from noon to 7 p.m. and says that with the heat indices so high, it could result in "dangerous conditions for those spending prolonged periods of time outside."

"The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible," says the NWS. "Avoid prolonged work in the sun or in poorly ventilated areas. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned environment, stay out of the sun and check in on relatives and neighbors."
