The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an excessive heat warning with no possible relief expected before the weekend. Daytime heat indexes are expected to reach the mid-90s to around 100 degrees through Thursday.
"The humid airmass will also keep nighttime temperatures in the 70s offering little relief from the heat. The prolonged period of hot daytime temperatures and warm and muggy nights will create additional stress on the body," the outlook states.
The heat advisory means temperatures and humidity are high enough that they could cause heat-related sickness.
Tips to stay safe are:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Stay out of the sun and in air conditioning if possible
- Check on neighbors and family
