Tomorrow continues the hot trend with sunny skies and a high near 98°F. The heat index is forecast to reach 104°F again, driven by south winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

Safety and Awareness

With heat indices exceeding 100°F, the risk of heat-related illness increases significantly. It is crucial to stay hydrated by drinking water frequently, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day, typically between late morning and early evening.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and seek air-conditioned environments when possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without adequate cooling, as high humidity can make indoor temperatures feel oppressive even with fans running. No active weather alerts are currently in effect for this area.
