I knew it was too good to be true. The pleasant weather we’ve experienced in the past couple of weeks is about to do a 360. Expect dangerous triple digit heat this weekend and high humidity. Temperatures could reach 104 degree.
Wear light weight…light-colored clothing…and stay out of the direct sunshine as much as possible. Limit strenuous outdoor activities. Take time to cool off in an air-conditioned room or vehicle. and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Check in on the elderly and take care of your pets. Don’t leave your children in unattended vehicles.
