Get ready for a sweltering week ahead. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are expected to soar into the low to mid 90s throughout the week, with heat index values climbing into the low 100s. The intense heat has prompted a Heat Advisory that remains in effect through Friday.
The prolonged stretch of hot weather can pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those without access to air conditioning. Residents are urged to take precautions:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours
- Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing
- Never leave pets or children in parked vehicles
Stay informed by monitoring local forecasts and heat alerts and make heat safety a top priority this week.
