In fact, the heat index will be so high that many parts of New York State will be under a heat advisory for the majority of Thursday.


The heat advisory is in place on Thursday from 11 am until 8 pm. Officials are warning people to limit the amount of time that they are outside during the advisory and make sure to check on people that they know who don't have air conditioning.
