Heat index values peaking in the upper 90s Monday
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Our hot and humid pattern continues in central Indiana to start off the work week. Heat index values will be in the upper 90s today. Some wildfire smoke, which is mainly elevated, will create hazy skies at times.
TODAY: A few spots of patchy fog waking up. Mostly sunny skies are expected today along with haze from wildfire smoke. A stray pop-up shower can’t be ruled out, but that chance is pretty low. High temperatures in the low 90s with heat index values in the mid to upper 90s.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear skies remain with patchy fog possible in the early morning hours. Low temperatures in the low 70s.
TOMORROW: Partly cloudy. A chance of showers and storms will be possible later on in the day along a cold front. High temperatures near 90 degrees.
7-DAY FORECAST: Behind the front Wednesday, slightly more comfortable air works mid to late week. Daily highs will still get into the 80s. However, there will be no major chance of rain on the way with plenty of dry days ahead.

3 workers rescued from manhole in Greenfield
GREENFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — Firefighters rescued three workers Monday morning after they became stuck in a narrow manhole and one fell semi-unconscious.
The Sugar Creek Township Fire Department said on social media that their crews, the Hancock County Technical Rescue team, and other fire departments were called to the 2200 block of West Bedrock Lane around 8 a.m. for a confined space rescue.
That street is in a suburban development off County Road North 200 West just north of U.S. 40 in Greenfield.
First responders arrived and found the three workers. Medics lowered an oxygen mask to the semi-conscious worker to stabilize their condition. The workers then climbed out of the manhole with a little help from firefighters on the scene.
One of the workers was taken to the hospital for additional treatment.
It wasn’t clear what the workers were working on or how they got stuck in the manhole.

OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lauds passing skill of Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard
NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander thinks that Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard’s passing ability is elite.
Gilgeous-Alexander, an MVP-level talent for the Oklahoma City Thunder, was asked to build his perfect player in a FIBA interview. He is currently playing in the Olympics for Team Canada, who reached the knockout stage this week.
When Gilgeous-Alexander was asked to name what player’s passing he would use in his hypothetical perfect player, he said Nembhard’s name. The two players are currently teammates with Canada in the Olympics, and they were the leading scorers when the team beat Spain on Friday.
“Andrew Nembhard,” SGA said after some hesitation.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander builds his perfect player:
🪣 Scoring – Kobe Bryant
👀 Passing – Andrew Nembhard
🔒 Defense – Lu Dort
🧠 Game IQ – Chris Paul
🔥 Athleticism – LeBron JamesThoughts on SGA’s picks? 🤔

Gilgeous-Alexander chose Kobe Bryant’s scoring ability, Lu Dort’s defense, Chris Paul’s game IG, and LeBron James’ athleticism. Dort is also with Team Canada for the Olympics.
Nembhard averaged 4.1 assists per game last season, though he plays alongside Tyrese Haliburton with the Pacers, and Haliburton often handles the ball and distributes. When sharing the floor with Haliburton, Nembhard dished out 5.7 assists per 100 possessions — that number climbed to 11.7 when he played without the All-NBA guard.
Clearly, Nembhard can pass better than his assist numbers suggest. He is talented in many areas of the game, which is why Indiana gave him a contract extension last week. He’s tied to Indiana for the next four seasons.
In the Olympics, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 19.0 points and 4.0 assists per game. Nembhard, meanwhile, is averaging 8.3 points and 1.3 assists per game. They’ve both been vital to Canada’s success
Canada plays France in the quarter finals on Tuesday.
