It will be quite hot again today with high temperatures in the lower to mid 90s in most valley locations. Heat index values are expected to reach 4 to 8 degrees above these max temperatures.

This is to help spread awareness about the dangers of leaving a child, and even a pet, in a closed vehicle during a warm sunny day. Please spread the word: Beat the Heat, Check the Back Seat !!!

Practice Heat Safety. Stay hydrated and take frequent breaks in the shade as often as possible.
