Heat Ramping Up this Weekend

Dangerous heat is ramping up heading into the weekend, with heat index values nearing 100°F for the first time this year. While actual high temperatures will be in the low 90s, the humidity will make it feel significantly hotter. With little to no rain relief expected until mid next week, the emphasis is on heat safety: stay hydrated, avoid prolonged time outdoors during peak afternoon hours, and check in on vulnerable individuals. It’s an early-season reminder that summer-like heat can be hazardous.
