Forecast for Today and Tomorrow

Today will be sunny with a high near 99F. The National Weather Service forecasts heat index values as high as 103 during the afternoon hours. South winds are expected to remain around 10 mph. There is only a 1% chance of precipitation, meaning rain is highly unlikely.

South winds will continue at 5 to 10 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 20 mph. The chance of precipitation drops to 0%.

Safety Reminders

Given the active Heat Advisory and high heat index values, residents should take precautions. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when temperatures peak. Check on elderly neighbors or those who may be vulnerable to extreme heat. If you must be outside, seek air-conditioned spaces whenever possible and wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
