Good Morning from KRBC Meteorologist Chris Whited...* High Pressure sitting right on top of the region so don't expect much to happen over the next few days weather wise. Abundant sunshine today and on Wednesday with highs in the upper 90s and overnight lows in the middle 70s. The high will remain in control into the late week and into the weekend. We should begin to see some clouds in place by the late week as southeasterly flow begins to pick up and daytime heating will allow for development of fair weather cumulus clouds. Highs will remain in the middle to upper 90s for the late week and into the weekend with overnight lows in the middle 70s. The forecast remains dry into the late week. Some spots may hit the triple digits at times this week.
* The Weekend: Not much happening for the upcoming weekend. Partly cloudy on Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper 90s and overngiht lows in the middle 70s. We remain dry for the weekend with no rain chances.
* Hot Weather Safety: Medical experts remind everyone to be extremely careful when outside in the very hot weather. Some safety tips recommended include drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks in a cool spot. Also be sure to check on the elderly and your pets. You should also wear light colored clothing and don't forget to apply the sunscreen regularly. If you can you should up off your outdoor activities until early in the morning and into the evening to avoid the peak heating hours. An average of 175 Americans succumb to hot weather during the summer months across the country.
