HeatRisk serves as another NWS tool that can be used to protect lives and property from the potential risks of excessive heat, being especially useful for those who are more easily affected by heat or those who provide support to those communities of heat-sensitive individuals. HeatRisk ensures that communities have the right information at the right time to be better prepared for upcoming heat events. HeatRisk has been available in the Western United States since 2014 and was expanded across the contiguous United States in 2024.

With a short heat wave looking increasingly likely for the mid-end of the upcoming week, here are the probabilities of seeing high temperatures over 100 degrees for the Inland Empire and inland. Thursday will likely be the hottest day of the week.
