This heat wave is a dangerous one. If you can, limit time outdoors and remember to stay hydrated. If you have to be outside for an extended period, try to take plenty of breaks in the shade and A/C.
There won't be much opportunity to cool down at night, or many of the nights ahead. We drop into the mid to upper 70s for early Wednesday.
Wednesday will have some cloud cover and this may keep temps 1-2 degrees cooler in some areas. Temps will still be near 100, but could keep temps away from the record high of 102, set in 1975. Heat indices will be around 108-115.
Thursday looks to be one last day of dangerous heat. Highs flirt with 100 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
Thankfully, a cold front moves through on either Thursday night or Friday morning and this looks to bring us relief from the extreme heat. Afternoon highs will be closer to 90 degrees Friday with a small chance for rain, depending on cold front timing.
The weekend looks much cooler. Mid to low 80s on Saturday and Sunday. Both days bring a mix of clouds and sun, and an occasional chance for rain. There will be dry time.
