Synopsis:
The heatwave will continue for the foreseeable future. Much of the nation is sweltering as hot high pressure stretches from the Western states to the Atlantic. The hottest temperatures of the season so far are expected in our region. The heat index will approach 100º today and Thursday. Scattered storms are possible late in the day Thursday as a weak front works through from the West.
The heat will stick around through the upcoming weekend under a blazing sun and high humidity.
Please take it slow outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids. Check on the elderly and pets. Listen to your body, if you feel dizzy or fatigue take a break and try to stay in air-conditioned or cooler areas.
Stay tuned.
