Hot Hot Will It Get Today?

The NWS says we will experience dangerously hot temperatures between 100 and 105 on Wednesday with the heat index values climbing to near 114 degrees.

This extreme heat and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, especially for folks who work outdoors or anyone who stays outside for an extended period of time.
