Dangerous heat returns this week! Heat index values will soar to the mid and upper 100s towards the middle/end of the week. This will increase flash drought risks across the area. Drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the sun, check on neighbors and always look before you lock!
The heat is really going to get cranking this week. Temperatures will increase a degree or two each day throughout the week and heat index values will return to dangerous levels. Please use caution if you are outdoors for an extended period of time.
