Brutally Hot Rest of the Week

From KRBC Chief Meteorologist Randy Turner ....

Find yourself a cool spot and stay there for the rest of the week. The hottest temperatures yet this summer will find their way into our area starting Wednesday.

I'm forecasting 101 for a high Wednesday, 104 for Thursday and 102 for Friday before temperatures return to the upper 90's over the weekend.

Practice heat safety tips such as: 1) drink plenty of water; 2) wear light colored loose fitting clothing; 3) make sure pets are watered properly; 4) limit outdoor work to early mornings or late evenings, if possible; 5) check on the elderly often to make sure they have ample cooling and water; 6) wear sunscreen if in direct sunlight for any length of time.

We should get a little, not much, relief from the heat this weekend as more cloud cover will be around and the high pressure ridge won't be sitting right on top of us as it is now.

No rain in the forecast at this time.
