From WSB TV…

Mother Nature has spared north Georgia from the heat for most of the summer so far. But that is going to change this week.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says the hottest weather of the year is headed our way.

A heat advisory has been issued for several counties.

Here’s what to know…

• Temperatures won’t beat record highs but mid to upper 90s are likely.
• Heat index values will approach 105 in some counties
• More showers and storms are possible again for the afternoon.
