Temperatures will be up in the mid 90s, mostly sunny. We’re going to need to keep an eye on the heat index values. The high temperatures accompanied with the dewpoint values in the low 70s, heat index values will creep above 100°, even to just below the 105° range. Heat precautions are going to be needed so keep these tips from the NWS in mind: read more
