We're under a heat advisory today until 8 p.m. The humidity and high temperatures are expected to drive the heat index to 107 degrees, and possibly as high as 110 degrees early this afternoon. The most intense heat is expected to pass by 6 p.m.
The National Weather Service is warning people to avoid the outdoors and to take extra precautions if you do have to be out in the heat. Stay hydrated and in the shade whenever possible.
And we're expected to get just as hot and bothered Saturday, as the temperature reaches as high as 98 degrees, pushing the heat index into the 105-110 degree range in the afternoon.

Sunday will be another hot one, with the high at 96 degrees. But, hopefully, an afternoon shower will cool things off.
