It's summer, it's hot - but temps this week will be 4-10F above normal, putting vulnerable populations at risk (kids, elderly, pets, outdoor workers). Are you prepared for the heat? If spending time outdoors, ensure you have plenty of water & take breaks in the shade or AC! #cawx
Forecasted high temperatures for Thursday, July 9th.
