As tonight approaches, conditions will remain mostly clear. The low will settle around 76F. The heat index will stay elevated, with values as high as 98F. South winds will continue around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Tomorrow, the heat will persist with a high near 95F. The sky will be mostly sunny, and there is still no chance of rain. The heat index is forecast to climb to 100F.

Safety Reminders

With temperatures and heat indices consistently in the upper 90s, it is crucial to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day, typically midday through early evening.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and seek air-conditioned environments when possible. Check on elderly neighbors or those without reliable cooling, as extreme heat can pose serious health risks. There are no active weather alerts, but the persistent heat requires vigilance to avoid heat-related illnesses.
