Forecast for Today and Tomorrow

The heat will persist through the day. Today is expected to be sunny with a high near 100F. The National Weather Service indicates that heat index values could reach as high as 104F due to the combination of heat and humidity. South southwest winds will hover around 10 mph.

Safety Reminders

With temperatures nearing 100F and heat index values exceeding 100F, the risk of heat-related illness is significant. It is crucial to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest. If you must be outside, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without air conditioning to ensure their safety. While there are no active weather alerts, the extreme heat itself poses a serious health risk that requires vigilance and preparation.
