Another toasty dose of temperatures means the high heat could also trigger severe storms.

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Thursday from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m.

Long exposure to the warm temperatures could cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke, especially for those who are young or elderly.

FirstEnergy Spokesman Mark Durbin says all of its 10 utilities are on "high alert" and prepared to respond and repair any possible electrical damage that may occur.

Forecasters predict winds gusting as high as 60 miles per hour in some regions as a storm system moves through.
