The National Weather Service has issued a weather alert for a heat wave threat mid-week through the weekend. Friday and Saturday max heat indices of 100-105 F are expected in our area.

Please remember to stay hydrated and check on vulnerable family, friends and neighbors to make sure they stay safe and cool.
