Summer may have had a late start, but it's here now. Heat index values are expected to rise into the mid 90s and near 100 rest of the week and through the weekend. The National Weather Service says high pressure will dominate the mid state region over the next few days and coupled with dewpoints in the upper 60s...will result in heat index values in the mid 90s to near 100. These conditions will persist until a cold front moves through the area Monday evening.

Remember to take necessary precautions to protect from heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Do not leave children or pets in cars unattended as temperatures can reach well into the triple digits within a vehicle even after only a few minutes.
